It still seems to me that over a year of standard desktop usage, you would
come up with a good amount of fragmentation. I know this is not true for
a server though. I had a Redhat 8 machine that ran for over a year
without a reboot. When I did reboot it, it had about 5% fragmentation.
That's not bad for over a years worth of usage.
