If we're going anecdotal, Ubuntu has been nothing but great for me. I have left laptops off for months and then turned them on and update/upgrade them no problem, as well as computers that I use daily. I think the crux of the update issue is really how well package managers handle interdependencies between packages vs how many/what packages you have on your system.

- jkaplowitz 6y agoDebian is more reliable than Ubuntu about upgrades between and within major versions and in configurations that aren't the most typical. Still consult the release notes before upgrading between major versions in case there are relevant release-specific gotchas before/after/during, and for generally helpful precautionary advice, but quite often there aren't.
