How often do you update your system? (sh.itjust.works)

I find that I habitually open a terminal and run an update on every boot of my system (which gets rebooted once a day). I'm curious what other people do.

Multiple times a day, basically whenever I'm bored. Sometimes I get so depressed when there are no updates, that I install some random package or build something from source, so I can look at some text flying across my terminal, and look at all the cool stuff happening on my PC. I also have a journalct -f and btop running all the time as it's interesting to see what's happening behind the scenes.

Can I recommend cbonsai and cmatrix?

Thanks for the cbonsai suggestion 😀

cbonsai is awesome. Whenever I open a new shell, I have it configured to first run cbonsai so that a bonsai tree is the first thing that I see when I open a terminal.
