How often do you format and reinstall your OS, /g/? I tend to do so once every 6 months.
Pic unrelated.
Whenever I need to. Ends up being once every couple months.

Whenever I need to:
- Change the motherboard
- Prepare for a major OS upgrade
- Break the computer
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.
Whenever a new LTS release comes out.

About once per machine. I get it, I install my unix-like of choice, then I continue to use it until it's no longer serviceable hardware.
Isn't that what everybody does?

Ideally, once every 3 years or so
Realistically, about once a year
never
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.
