It's almost as if giving people choice encourages them to speak up about what they want. Unlike with Windows or MacOS, you have that choice in Linux.

How many times do you update the system ? i noticed that i always check on updates during startup. I open the terminal and just use the command sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade.
I am wondering if people are updating alot or waiting for a update moment (let's say) once a month ?
I think it also depends on what DE you are using. I like Plasma, blue = normal updates, red = security updates. Icon themes seem to get frequent updates nearly every third day.
I used to do that as well, trying to keep things up to date. Now, I just run it every few days since most of the time there is nothing available, or I if know it's not a critical update and don't feel like waiting for it. For example, LibreOffice usually takes a long time to update.

That depends on the connection speed i guess.
I like to use the Software Updater because there stands for what the Packages are and a Changelog.

Otherwise another question .. maybe this has already been asked, sorry in advance ..
Zorin compared to Mint Cinnamon, what about the performances (pc boot time, shutdown ...)
You will tell me that it depends on what I want to do.
But first of all, I often read by looking a little at what is done in Linux distros, so-and-so is reputed to be light, rather heavy os, light desktop, fast startup etc ...)
But why "light", why "heavy", compared to what?
Programs launched at startup? software overlay (Gnome, KDE, XFCE ...) faster to open?
That is about the Ressources that a System needs to start/run. It is compared to each other. XFCE as a Desktop for Example is a lighter one because it needs not so much like Gnome. And that is good when Your Machine doesn't have so much Power - I mean a more weak CPU, less RAM and/or a more weak Graphics.
