You should never update anything on your system.You should get the OS you like, get all the software you need, then never update anything. >B-b-b-but... n-n-n-new features!!!If there are new features you need then you didn't get the right software in the first place. All the software you could ever need is solved, nobody adds meaningful new features in current year. Literally does not ever happen. Only pointless tweaks which confuse your workflow, or needless changes that might break things.>B-b-b-but... SECURITY!!!!! SECURITY!!!!!!!! PATCHED FOR SECURITY!!!!!!!!!Insane delusion. No individual on earth has ever been victim of a cyber attack due to lack of security. Targeted exploit attacks only happens to large organizations who actually have a reason to be targeted. Attacks only happen to individuals due to extreme stupidity like installing malware or falling for jeet tricks. No amount of updating can avoid that. In fact, the only other thing that can cause security breaches for an individual is... !UPDATES! ...by way of them being compromised and infected with malware. If you are running tried and tested software you know is not infected, why would you risk updating to something infected which would compromise your system? It doesn't make any sense.The only logical solution is to NEVER UPDATE. Update obsession is driven by bugman FOMO mentality (What about the newest things? What if the updates give other people get something I don't have?), or the schizophrenic-tier delusion that mysterious hackers are constantly trying to access your computer specifically with obscure exploits, to gain access to the absolutely zero data of any interest that you have. How often do you hear of updates causing problems? All the time. It happens to everyone.How often do you hear of updates improving a system?Never, it has never happened and never will.The only sane and sensible thing to do is NEVER UPDATE.NEVER UPDATE.

>>108601845You should keep a backup of the version of the distro you are comfortable with as well, as all the software, so you can pick up right where you left on in the case of a fresh install.
