You can use a popular Linux dist and turn on automatic updates, and use Snap apps that update by themselves. But you still would not have control - apps could update with breaking changes.
The only way to win is by choosing simple tools that are either considered "infrastructure", or simple to build and even patch yourself if needed.
- tuatoru 5y ago> apps that update by themselves Maybe I'm too old (experienced) and cynical, but I always read that as "apps that are going to brick themselves". No thanks.
- sdoering 5y agoThis one has bitten me hard on servers and desktop computers. And lately on mobile too. The last area were I still had automatic updates enabled. The problem is, that one can't reasonably wait a few days on every update and look online for breaking changes. Especially with mobile apps that have sometimes a really unreasonable update frequency. I still have not found a satisfactory solution for me personally.
