So a while back I threw Ubuntu 22 LTS on an old Surface Pro 3 and gave it to my Dad.
He loves it, but he’s the type who’s been burnt by updating software in the past, so he basically refuses any whenever prompted.
Been thinking about throwing Debian with Gnome on it for a while, and wondering if it’s stable enough to just let updates happen automatically in the background?
I got no experience with Debian I basically jumped right on EndeavourOS as my main distro when I started using Linux full time.
On desktop I usually do manual installation of updates(mostly cos I don’t want to get any important running program restarted), in servers I use automatic updates via cron job as part of the automation process, these two work for me.
Isn’t restarting an important running program more of an issue on servers?
In my case not.
