I have been running my node on a Thinkpad 420 since 2011, and it is still going strong. I only updated the storage. I only restart for security updates.

*T420

I switched from an RPI3 to a used Dell notebook almost two years ago, and it's been running smoothly without any serious problems so far.

Cool, did you install it from source our do you use an OS like Umbrel or so?

Yes, I installed all from source. Ubuntu server as OS. Besides documentation of the projects itself, these two resources helped me a lot:

Nice, I also installed all from source - sometimes a little bit tricky with some nasty issues to fix during the installation process but definitely worth the time!

Yes 💯 . I also learned a lot doing it that way😃
