Unnecessary rant: I actually just had to downgrade my 575(?) driver after spending a few days trying to troubleshoot a freezing laptop. One day I walked away when it happen and that actually gave me the logs I needed to find the Nvidia driver was freezing the machine and then spitting logs out after giving up 10 minutes later (but still keeping things frozen). Was driving me nuts, thinking my hard drive was seeing the light, even though all tests for it were passing with flying colors!

I’m hesitant to try this new version since I didn’t see anything in the changelog about freeze fixes lol.

Daily on my Gentoo server, through a Cronjob every morning. It’s a custom script though, so there’s more than just doing an emerge update. It’ll send me ntfy notifications for the update results, if there are new news items, and if there are any time config merge updates to make. A few other things as well but that’s the main stuff.

Other servers, typically weekly or only manually when I ssh into them (for the ones I don’t really feel the need to update frequently).
