    I can’t get over how Linux updates seem to use so much more bandwidth, though. Several GB of updates every few days…

        Ubuntu mostly, EndeavourOS doesn’t seem to have as much, but I don’t update it as often either so it’s not an easy comparison. Ubuntu seems to have new libraries or whatever every other day.

          That is a lot. Does Ubuntu have patch listing? With zypper on openSUSE it can list you security patches and their status of critical, recommended, not needed etc and you can just update patches and not every update to the repo.

      Just use Slackware then.

      EDIT: Just pointing out this is distro specific and not Linux specific.
