Does anybody know how to get #Ubuntu #Linux 22.04 to stop updating on its own without disabling the Internet connection? I have turned off automatic updates, and I have set the main Wi-Fi network to be a metered connection, yet it keeps downloading and installing updates throughout the day for months on end, multiple times per day, without me prompting it to. This has caused my SWAP usage to jump to 1 GiB randomly at times (last night, it forced Firefox to crash so that it could update)

I would disable the snap store, but it has some dependencies. Still, there should be a way to disable updates.

Also, this error happens almost every day, I usually just ignore it (it is either Ubuntu Jammy or Steam that does this) should I be worried about this?

I still feel this is better than #windows as my computer isn't forced to restart each time it wants to update. I love #livepatch
