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

    Those apt commands are in a less-good order. It’s usually better to update apt, then upgrade the system.

    I upgrade as soon as reasonably possible after the notification appears, if the system isn’t on auto-upgrade.
