Hi, i got a question. I just want to know how unattended updates work. I dont want to fiddle around with it. I just wonder how it works and maybe i can adapt my usage of the machines i run. Like is it better to run 24/7 or shutting down overnight and such.
Thanks for your help. I like Q4OS.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Unattended upgrade is launched daily, the update action time is partly random. If upgrade is missed in 24 hours, it is launched directly after system boot plus some random waiting time, so you don't need to run 24/7.
If you want to upgrade manually, you can do it in terminal:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
