Every day. There’s no point being an a bleeding edge distro if you’re not riding the edge 🤣
Every week or two, or month, or two. 🙃
every 7 days
That’s what I’m doing as well, seems like a good compromise.
Infrequently (when I remember)
Whenever I’m bored and can’t think of anything else to do
When I remember, or when something breaks
When I think of it. Every few days on average, sometimes weeks though.
I’ve blindly updated a year+ old Arch install without introducing problems. Not saying they don’t ever happen, but it isn’t that common.
Daily usually.
Counter-question: how do linux releases roll?
Generally as I get a notification that packages are available. The exception is probably if there’s a new kernel and I don’t feel like rebooting.
I usually run updates every night before I shut down my computer. Probably in part a leftover from the time I used Gentoo and I’d leave my computer on over night compiling updates. I’m not saying this is the optimal way, it just feels right for me.
Daily, or on machines I don’t use daily, every time I boot into it
I update Portage almost daily but do the actual package updating kind of every week - it depends on how many packages are (or how big they are) to be updated
Every day by cronjob.
Every day (NixOS unstable)
