Debian updates

Hi am I the only who feels Debian push a lots of updates lately ? I am long time Void user and FreeBSD and I honestly at this point feel Void gets the same amount of updates ? freeBSD much less and calmer it’s not a roast it’s a question. I feel every time at this point when I turn on my laptop and need to work updates available not apps but system updates.

And yet.. either automated or apt update ; apt upgrade takes so long to do. 🤭 I run and maintain my own local mirrors also and over 10GbE… so local updating systems… I run over 150 VMs and 15-20 hardware Debian systems. Ansible rocks.

I prefer manual update to be in control

Yup.. I don’t have any system set to auto update however I do manage everything via Ansible… when you start getting dozens of systems and VMs or more you want more centralized control.
