Package Update Recommendations (Mellanox , Lambdalabs)

Technical Help
1

Hi,

My Ubuntu server is configured to receive the package updates from the following repositiories:

I am looking forward for any recommendations with respect to updating the packages from these repositories after running : sudo apt update , apt list --upgradable.

  • Is there a way to differentiate the general packages and the security packages from these repositories? or just go with the default way to upgrade the packages with : sudo apt upgrade?
  • Any other security recommendations for these packages with a balance of stability?

I dont have a test server, so a bit cautious with updating and upgrading the packages on my server.

Thanks in Advance!

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade is recommended.

If you want to be extra cautious, back up your data before upgrading, but it’s rare that the above command causes problems.

Thank You, Yes I mostly go with the command you provided and following a monthly reboot cadence.
