That’s… Not how it works… Debian is “stable” not “secure”. You use Debian so that is easier to run updates frequently since they’ll be unlikely to break things.
Comment on How often do you update software on your servers?

Well, one of the reasons I’m using debian in my server is so I can kinda forget about it… I’ll update maybe once a month, or every couple months. I don’t always restart though, so my kernel is probably a bit behind :'D

If I wanted to run updates frequently I would run arch lmao. Even if I did apt update every day, debian stable doesn’t get that many updates.
I could just run auto-update but meh.

You’re not updating for features you’re updating for bug and security fixes. That’s why Debian stable doesn’t have many updates. But the ones they do are typically important.

Yeah, I know. Until I get ransomware’d and my nudes leaked, I won’t care 💅🏻✨

Are you talking about desktop use?

No, my home server. My desktop and laptop both have arch, because I do interact with them more often.

lol. Same issue for me. I run it for months, and surprisingly (for me) nothing breaks at all.
But fucking ssh shows warnings regarding some “post quantum crypto” stuff, that was not there before lol.

I use Debian stable and subscribe to the debian-security-announce mailing list, so I update each time I get an email from it.

This is the way. (At least for a server)
