      That’s what I’m doing as well, seems like a good compromise.

    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.

    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
