I am kind of new to Linux. I started with nobara and got comfortable with the overall feel of Linux. Then a few weeks ago I switched over to cashyos, to try something new.
But what I wonder all the time: How often should I update my system? With Windows there were some updates happening in the background about every week and it was not necessary nor possible to manage them in detail.
But now on Linux I get update notification sometimes twice a day. I am also aware, that cashyos is doing roling updates. As I understand it, this means they are pushing them without much delay for testing. Is this a reason to wait a little before applying new updates so bugs can be fixed? But when I wait, arent there always new updates coming in? Also those Bugfixes would also be updates that I would then delay.
How are you handling it? And how are your experiences?
first thing I do is turn off all update notifications, can’t stand shit beeping at me. then, systemd timer that autoupdates all flatpaks daily; happens quietly in the background, no popups, no nothings.
system gets updated like once a month (and restarted). reason: hate reboots, leave my system in the evening, wake it in the morning with all my shit how I left it.
