Omygosh, this is the one single issue I have with all Ubuntu-based distros. I update selectively, avoiding anything that might bork my system. Newbies don't know how to update selectively, and any distro aimed at newbies should offer a way to filter out potentially harmful ones. Linux Mint does this with their updater, and [member=6629]ralphy[/member] has adapted that updater for Linux Lite users (clicky here to read about it).
So my follow up question about updates is:
Once I install Ll3.8 on an older laptop do I do the “full update” via the Welcome screen as per the instructions on initially installing OR should I simply go to the mint update manager for LL and electively choose the level 1,2,3 updates?
