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.

typically the default is autoupdate to be activated...
Where? How?
Fair question.
It is something I turn off so I don't remember for sure. Typically it comes up during the installation process. If your distro is using "Software Updater" it should be an option in it's settings called "automatically check for updates". This is on Ubuntu 25.04. Although it has been updated a few times from the version it was originally.
But whatever program is being used for updates should have options that will probably get you there.
Last time I tried something was automatic but not updates, just reminders.
While I am personally fine with manually updating, I really dont want to need to
Completely automatic should be one of the options. Not just 'reminders' and 'don't check'. I know that I used to use it several years ago.
