Or asked the other way around: How long do you keep your servers running without installing any software updates?

update means something like

sudo dnf update

or something …

apt-get upgrade
apt-get update

    Unattended-upgrade does security-only patching once every 4 hours (in rough sync with my local mirror)

    Full upgrades are done weekly, accompanied by a reboot

    I find that the split between security patching and feature/bug patching maintains a healthy balance knowing when something is likely to break but never being behind on the latest cve.
