Just curious

Just curious. How many times do you run sudo apt update / sudo up upgrade? Daily, weekly, never??

Every day, but that's how I roll :sweat_smile:

Extremely rarely, if ever. I use the software updater, like 99% of users out there. IMO, the only reason to use APT commands, is if you were in Terminal already for other stuff, and just wanted to do that one last thing.

Good Question. While each person is going to have a take based on their own experiences or maybe something they read, heard. I personally only do it when a particular package doesn't seem to be running correctly. So, for me, maybe once every 3, 4 months.

Usually at need, which averages out to once per week sometimes, once every couple of weeks... Or three times a week, depending on various factors.

In general, I run the upgrade command before any software install.

FlatPak, Snap, Deb some I didn't use the software store. I still don't know if they all get updated.

I personally check for updates every day or multiple times per day.
On my PC, i check APT, Flatpak, Steam games, Chrome extensions, NodeJS version (with nvm install node, and some of my NPM cli tools, such as Gemini CLI).
On my Chromebook, i check ChromeOS version, Android apps, Google Play itself, crostini (APT, Flatpak and NodeJS too), Steam (since i got Steam for Chromebook enabled) and some of my Progressive Web Apps (just by opening them since thats how to update a web app)
And on my phone i check apps, Google Play itself, Galaxy Store apps, Android System updates, Google Play System Update.

i'm just the kind of person that always want to be up to date :sweat_smile:

and i probably forgot a few things
