it usually updates most packages when a new patch version is released (eg 2.3.1 -> 2.3.2). besides that, they will not update packages to new releases that add features
there are some special cases where it might choose to update more often. debian uses firefox esr by default, but it will update to a newer esr version no matter what, for security reasons. the same must be true for thunderbird.
honestly that wouldn't be reliable enough for me to daily drive at work, but i'm definitely getting one to play with once i have a little money to throw away
maybe you're right. that's something i've been thinking about too, which is why i said a rooted android tablet with lineageos would also be an acceptable option.
but considering i have a desktop already and having a tablet for mobile computing, a laptop feels more and more like an awkward intermediate. laptops, i think, make more sense when you only have the laptop, but i really don't see a situation where a laptop offers me something a desktop+table combo wouldn't.
good response, but the last part feels a little circular reasoning
linux contributors live mostly in nato countries, so we have no choice but to push people from non-aligned countries away, which will prevent people from non-nato countries from joining, which will make most contributors be from nato countries
as someone said, people who were removed from the list can still contribute, i think, but this might lead to a situation where technology sovereignty will mean using your own regional linux fork
i did test ghostbsd earlier today, actually. i liked it, it felt pretty solid. also, from reading the docs, freebsd gave me the impression of being a very solid system as well
but again, the permissive licensing puts me off, and i don't see what it offers over e.g. debian that makes up for it
