How often do you wipe your operating system and start over, Jow Forums?

Literally never ever no matter what happens.

W10 actually performs a clean install every feature upgrade, and dumps the old Windows folder to C:\Windows.old.
Microsoft has just gotten really good at migrating over programs and settings so you don't even realize it's actually a clean install.

If it carries over programs and settings then it isn't a clean install IMO.

It's like doing a clean install and then automatically reinstalling all your programs and reinstating your settings.

Between half a year and 1-2 years, unless there's some major hardware change.

The difference is that we are self aware.

No, that would be much cleaner. It doesn't actually touch anything outside system folders, meaning that a lot of junk is left over, not from windows but from all the other programs you've installed at some point.

Maybe every 6 years or so. I made it up to 8 years for most of my devices and never do much updates. The jump ist mostly pretty big everytime, because everything changes.

You can literally just wipe those out with CCleaner for registry, and manually in User\X\AppData. None of that is vital, it's originally empty when you created the user, so nothing bad will happen from nuking the ones you know you want to get rid of.

once a month

There are a lot more than just in those folders. Of course it's possible to manually clean everything but it is basically as time consuming as just actually reinstalling windows from scratch and setting everything up again.

Yikes!

That's why you backup settings as .reg keys and just reinstate all your settings with 1 reg file. For the rest just use portable applications. I've used the same Firefox "installation" for 7 years now across multiple reinstalls and even computers.

I don't know what's going on in here, but have an almost 5 years old Windows 7 installation.

Same, I'm using it since late 2016 without problems.

Every few days, if im swapping distros maybe a couple a day till i find it cumfortable but am settling on gentoo till i get a server and compile LFS

I literally cannot do anything like updating or changing OS because of a stupid fucking Driver PNP watchdog error and I have NO fucking idea how to fix it, much less what's causing it
my GPU, CPU and BIOS drivers are all up to date

Never?
I haven't reinstalled my OS in probably 8 years. I simply update the distro when needed, and migrate the installation on to a new disk when it's time to replace the hardware.

Only when I brake it. My desktop's Arch install is about 18 months old.

When I replace my harddrive, so 4-5 years

Only when something breaks and is too complicated to fix. or when decided to move to a different distro.

Usually every few years. My Win 8.1 installs seem to be holding up well.

How often do you download yiff,Jow Forums?

Somewhat often. Not gonna post any tho I don't wanna get banned.

Extremely rarely, as infrequently as possible. This Devuan installation started as a Debian install over eight years ago. I imaged it and put it on nvme.

I've dragged the same windows install since 7's release, even through several major hardware change

once a week

when ever a major fuckup happens, at this point system restore feels kind of useless

i haven't done that since i got this computer
