I feel this is adequate but not sure if this is the right place, feel free to correct me.

As i read almost everything here, i keep noticing the same issue happening over and over, namely where users of LinuxCNC update/upgrade version for no particular reason and end up with broken machines.
This stems from the windows "update mentality" being forced upon us for the last 20 odd years... never mind.

[bold]In short, never update/upgrade a working machine, unless you explicitly need new features.[/bold]

It is Linux, and no matter how much money microsoft invests on youtubers to convince you that Linux is not secure, IT absolutely IS secure, the whole world uses Linux, all WORLD servers are running Linux (even microsoft's servers run Linux since 2000 with Red Hat), are on public IP so the whole world has access to them, yet very rarely anything happens to them.
STOP TYPING!
Even when something happens, almost always it is some running service/software that failed/got hacked, not LINUX, or some old server that was last updated 15 years ago.
And for those watching youtube about this, notice they never ever mention the comparison is being done for the web browser, NOT for the operating system.
