I've had the same Debian Jessie install since early 2014. I suppose I'll dist-upgrade to Stretch when that becomes the new Stable.

Isn't that what everybody does?

Every 3 year or per windows release of new version

I used to reinstall windows every 3 months. But then it got to be a hassle installing everything again, So I created my own disk copy that automatically installs all the latest versions of programs for me.

But now, I haven't reinstalled in a year or so. Winblows 8.1 master race.
