How often do you update your apps on your devices?
me:
- android: 2x per year, except some app needs an update to work
- linux/manjaro: every few months, except security stuff (ik its a rolling release distro but I hate updating frequently)
A while ago I updated mostly directly after publish. But since more and more apps (primarily Google services, Social Media, …) get shitty updates which include AI and bloat, I try to update as less as possible while stil trying to get important and new features.
But many apps freak out when not applying these updates in this timespan, which makes it really annoying when needing an app urgently. Then having to update them with eventually bad network makes me aggressive.
Which are your opinions?
Only when I feel like it. And OS updates that require a reboot maybe four times a year. And I run pro audio software that takes a long time to catch up, so never the new whiz bang version of macOS. And never the N.0.0 version for any of my other devices. I used to work / dogfood development software for work. Never again. It’s begging for your existence to be hell.
