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

    On my ubuntu I use unattended updates but that doesn’t work reliably. I have to update it manually most of the time. Once every other month.

    On my fedora server it auto updates every day at 4 reliably.

    The next server is going to be atomic such that the server restart is even shorter (not that I would care about it at 4).
