But breaks stuff more often. Why would that be a net win? Probably a net loss because you incur the mental overhead of putting down whatever actual problems you are trying to solve and getting into a frame of mind to try to fix your computer, more frequently.
Let's sum up the available options: 1) update rarely, fix a lot of breakage at a time 2) update daily, run into each breakage as soon as it happens and fix it 3) never update, no need to fix anything Did I miss anything? Just saying 2) is what works for me. Takes 1-2 minutes every morning before I start working (updates to all systems have been checked and downloaded overnight).
The problem with #3 is that, while there are no updates to break things, there are also no updates to fix things, so whatever is broken will stay broken.
