On my basement workstation I upgrade the packages irregularly but at least twice a year. The kernel itself is 4.15 from 2019, any upgrade to the kernel is hazardous as the computer doesn't have monitor / keyboard, so a failure to boot is a major inconvenience. Same for any upgrade / alteration to the bootloader and filesystem.
Is there anyone who has been online longer than my Oracle's free ARM instances?

Yes, shared library stuff, typically. Anything with a window manager installed is definitely not safe to skip reboots. Even Ubuntu live kernel users are told they need reboots regularly. There were several exploits like Heartbleed (?) and other CPU issues that needed a full reboot to patch. There were articles at the time pointing out that people were under the impression that if the bash check passed, they were all good but weren't.
People don't realize that there isn't really an update arbiter that ensures services and everything touching a library is restarted. It's mostly best effort.
There was a very detailed write up by someone on Slashdot years ago discussing linux updates vs Microsoft excessive rebooting requests, I regret not saving it.
ctrl-alt-bkspreboots the x server,# init 1reboots most software under the sun on SysV, except the kernel. It's faster than a hardware reboot, but not necessarily more useful. SystemShit™ might have something similar. (sorry, not a fan)Interesting... This was the longest one from my friend, who ran https://dewabiz.com
For security, I will reboot if needed. So it's
up 1 day, all of them.
