++. The security updates are important. Everyone gets the security updates. But more important are the major and minor releases (instead of just the point releases). Oftentimes security bugs are mislabelled and masked behind innocuous looking bugs. You need the latest major and minor releases to get them fixed. Also see https://thenewstack.io/design-system-can-update-greg-kroah-hartman-linux-security/, and his discussion of the TTY1 bug. > I like Testing better than Ubuntu, but I honestly do not care much for > Ubuntu.
