It is delivered through the PPA that you enable after trusting system76. So I don't know where this reasoning is comes from. Also updates in Ubuntu are delivered only after the user explicitly invokes it(in GUI or using apt).
- e12e 9y agoAfaik the standard setup of Debian and Ubuntu is to install UnattendedUpgrades with automatic periodic installation of security updates. These aren't supposed to come with functional changes beyond patching security bugs, but there's no theoretical reason a security-patch couldn't bootstrap netbsd and change the entire os. It's code that runs as root. To be clear: I think this is a great default configuration, and it's been a long time coming - but it's just not true afaik that Debian/Ubuntu won't auto-update at all in the default configuration.
