How often do you update software on your servers? - tchncs

Or asked the other way around: How long do you keep your servers running without installing any software updates? update means something like sudo dnf update or something … apt-get upgrade apt-get update

Well, one of the reasons I’m using debian on my server is so I can kinda forget about it…

I’ll update maybe once a month, or every couple months. I don’t always restart though, so my kernel is probably a bit behind :'D

That’s… Not how it works… Debian is “stable” not “secure”. You use Debian so that is easier to run updates frequently since they’ll be unlikely to break things.

If I wanted to run updates frequently I would run arch lmao. Even if I did apt update every day, debian stable doesn’t get that many updates.

I could just run auto-update but meh.

Are you talking about desktop use?

No, my home server. My desktop and laptop both have arch, because I do interact with them more often.
