... my wife had to warn me not to put linux on certain computers.

With Gnome-boxes, I can safely shove random versions of linux on MY computer without hurting anyone else!

Now I know what an MX box with fluxbox is like! And I didn't have to make my father in law's business collapse to do it!

Yeah. I've got my home server set to install all security updates and restart Monday at 3 am; my first thought when seeing a two-month uptime on any of my machines is 'whoops', not 'wow'.

Amazing uptimes are strictly for machines that aren't connected to a network, and I'd start to be concerned whether they'd restart on eg. power failure if I started seeing really big numbers.

Just do live security updates.
