That is very bad advice. Sounds like something a Windows user would say, and the OP did NOT say that his machine has not been updated for a year. He said it's a year old. haoniukun, there's no reason to reinstall the system. I've man times updated gentoo machines after 18 months or so.
(In the hypothesis it has not been updated for a year). Yes, there is no *reason* in the meaning that there is no absolute need for it, and that everything can be fixed.
But reinstalling can nonetheless be the fastest, safest, easiest alternative.
I understand the Linux community has some taboo related to reinstalling as a mark of the "Microsoft evil", but we should just reason and take into account it as one of the possibilities to consider (the problem is that, in MS world, it is often the *only* possibility to consider).
