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

That's... Not how it works.. Debian is "stable" not "secure". You use Debian so that is easier to run updates frequently since they'll be unlikely to break things.

    If I wanted to run updates frequently I would run arch lmao. Even if I did apt update every day, debian stable doesn't get that many updates.

    I could just run auto-update but meh.

    You're not updating for features you're updating for bug and security fixes. That's why Debian stable doesn't have many updates. But the ones they do are typically important.
