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

        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

      That’s me, tbh it’s annoying to install update if there are 5 or 10 packages to update.
      I just wait until it show much more update, so…usually i waited 3 month max

          4000 packages update ??? nah…it’s rookie number bro, just wait loooooong enough so when you updated your system will crashed or show tons of error message after reboot
