Then you are missing security updates. In my circle of colleagues, many working for large enterprises, IT will not permit that.
As has been said, your operating system is boiler plate stable if it runs your applications properly. RHEL's claim to fame is that it locks down the code, so update don't break things. And the lock down include a lot of security updates too. I have reported them and got ignored. So, if you want stability of never having to worry about an update breaking things, don't update. You can do this with any operating system. If all depends on what your need are. I do PCI (Payment Card Industry) consulting as well as a ton of other things. PCI required you run a "supported" operating system. This is to get security updates. It is a double edged sword. I have had customers tell me that M$'s updates have caused more damage to their businesses than all the viruses they ever caught. So there is on one answer to this. It depends on your needs. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
