How often do you update your OS? (iusearchlinux.fyi)

It has been a while since I last made a post questioning things, life has been really busy. But I currently got a little bit of downtime so why not make a new thread again :)

So the question is how often do you do updates? Every day? Once a week? Once a month? When XY thing happens? Never? Or is it just completely random?

Oooooooo I didn't know about that either. I haven't had the issue yet with that on Arch, but it was a constant issue back when I was using Manjaro and for some reason I never thought to look up if I can disable it (I just automatically assumed I couldn't I guess). Thanks for letting me know about it!

I see, makes sense ^^.

No problem haha. I think the Arch Wiki is full of neat little tricks like that, definitely give it a check for other things ^^. In this case I actually learned about it from a high school teacher who ran Arch. I was sarcastically complaining that Arch didn't update fast enough because the update Discord wanted wasn't in the repos. So to both help me and play along, my teacher linked the wiki page and said RTFM 🤣

Oh yea, I have used it for other things and it is amazing, it just never crossed my mind to check for that specific issue, silly me :D. I really didn't think they would actually let you disable the update check and I always complained about it because on phone it lets you run whatever outdated version you want...
