Question Would running infrequent updates causes issues in Fedora?


Hi.

If I install Fedora on a secondary PC that I access about once every 3 weeks or so and run updates -- would this cause breakages? Or would running updates at least once a week be best practice?

Thanks.

I have linux installs in dual boot situations that get updates in every session: about once every two months.
If the delay is longer, the time the update takes can be significantly longer, but I have had no breakage.
Your mileage may vary.

Fedora is very good these days - do what you want. Just be more conscientious about updating (just) prior to upgrading.
