  • I’ve never had to interact with system updates in Linux distros beyond saying “yes I want to update” in the last decade. If I didn’t want to, there’s usually a force update flag available to skip the asking part. Would I do this for a server without backups? Absolutely not. For home use? I’ll roll the dice; I have backups even if there’s a couple days of shipping time to get all 12TB mailed to me.

    Of course, major distribution releases are a different monster. Fortunately, I don’t deal with those often and when I do, I migrate instead of upgrade.
