I and strongly against windows and what microsoft is doing, But you are absolutely correct. If you stick to a build/update that's not trying to brick your NVME, windows desktop uptime is very reasonable.

We're not scoping on stability of thier updates, or the ability to update, just uptime on a run of the mill patched version, it goes as long as you'd need it to for most people.

Now, my linux desktop can go for very very long stretches without updates/reboots if I cared to do it. but windows 11 isn't bad in the way that 95, 98, 2000 were. I'd even argue that win10 was more stable or at the very least had far less breaking issues.
