From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Wtf I'm the only one who waits months to update?
if you don't mind me asking: why? in my experience, keeping the system up to date is usually effortless
I don't wanna restart, and I don't really care enough
I update when I think I have nothing else to do or when it's important enough (new Nvidia drivers, a remote execution patch, new gnome update)
oh, i forgot gnome forces you to reboot after each update (plasma just installs the updates in the background after you ask it to)
it's good practice to restart either way
That's me, tbh it's annoying to install update if there are 5 or 10 packages to update.
I just wait until it show much more update, so......usually i waited 3 month max
Me and my 4000 packages waiting to update
4000 packages update ???? nah....it's rookie number bro, just wait loooooong enough so when you updated your system will crashed or show tons of error message after reboot
Never experienced this
