i have created a short questionnaire, regarding how GNU/Linux users secure their system. if you are somewhat knowledgeful on this topic and willing to share, i would appreciate if you would fill out my questionnaire
okay, so, my research is finished. here are the results:
The “other” distributions include: NixOS (8x), Gentoo (4x), Slackware (1x), Void Linux (1x) or a combination of multiple distributions
if you don’t mind me asking: why? in my experience, keeping the system up to date is usually effortless
I don’t wanna restart, and I don’t really care enough
I update when I think I have nothing else to do or when it’s important enough (new Nvidia drivers, a remote execution patch, new gnome update)
oh, i forgot gnome forces you to reboot after each update (plasma just installs the updates in the background after you ask it to)
it’s good practice to restart either way
