Slackware current - Update frequency
by bitfuzzy from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4XA3V)
I'm running Slackware Current with Kernel 5.4.6 on a new laptop destined to replace a old work laptop running 14.1.
Typically I install 1 version behind current, but due to issues with 14.2 properly detecting some of my hardware I didn't have much choice.
I'm still in the setup/testing phase but so far (thanks to help here) things are looking good and I hope to be in the field with it by the end of the week.
Which brings me to my question.
How often should I install updates with Current?
Is there a way to tell if an update is ready for general use?
Currently everything is running smooth, but I'm concerned that updates could create a stability issue
Any thoughts on the subject are appreciated
