One of my systems [that is actually in use], I’ve not run an update for near as long again as how long it’s been since I rebooted it, and have not even hot-patched it, nor upgraded anything, … uptime says: “08:07:28 up 2687 days, 29 min, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00”
(And it’s a gentoo… And I love upgrading long neglected gentoos… … though that’s maybe an order too far, that long. A couple years, fine, fun, but less than a year away from 3000 days (plus another grand or two). LOL. But still, the freedom to choose to do that… is nice.)
… Just before clicking Reply, I hear Richard Stallman’s [paraphrased(?)] words echoing around in my mind… Either the user controls the software, or the software controls the user at the behest of someone else.
It’s nice to have the choice.
