    What do you mean, automatically? Arch is a rolling release and I have to explicitly run pacman with the correct flags to update. At the same time Debian, which is not a rolling release, has the unattended upgrades feature which installs updates automatically.

    I was thinking Tumbleweed, Manjaro and the like which have GUI updaters, lol. @[email protected] was pretty clear that his parents are the ultimate Linux beginners; he’s not going to give them Arch or Debian out of the box and bark command lines at them.

      I actually have given him Arch before, but I handled everything. They’re running Manjaro.
