I had laptop running Ubuntu 16.04, which was running for 2273 days without reboots or anything. It was located in safe place so not even security updates were installed during that time. And it was still completely fine after all these days (little bit over 6 years). It was finally shut down when there was electricity break, and its battery failed, and I decided that it was time to retire it.

There of course were tons of updates available then, but no one forces you to install them. and in Debian system instead of Ubuntu, there will be lot less, their release policy is much stricter.

They are still on the ship, and cannot get to land because of the lack of visas.

Also check your bios version. I had similar problems with usb-c and fans on HP Elitebook, they were fixed with bios upgrade.

Edit: I also had troubles waking from sleep. They were caused by wwan/lte modem, I disabled it on bios and now sleep works flawlessly.

For first-time Linux users, I always recommend one of the main user friendly distributions - it is much easier to ask or look for help this way.

So, Fedora, Ubuntu or Opensuse.

Their installers all can live boot

Blog makes valid point, but why on earth there would be any current Linux distribution without usr merge?

EDIT: Especially when every major Linux distributions have already implemented usr merge long time ago.

Ah, I really liked Ubuntu looks in old (4.04 - 8.04) versions. The brown/orange is so much better than the newer gray/purple/red whatever. Since 10.04 the theme and color scheme has been awful.
