Ah. I have only figured out the check for updates daily, weekly or never options. I am leaning into never as this is the third time an Ubuntu update has made me want to curl up in a ball and die.
never updating anymore is a bad idea. on linux even your web browser is only updated along with the system (unless you use the flatpak package), and all browsers regularly patch previously unknown security vulnerabilities
Weird. I understand you did have issues, but that’s so far from my experience. Despite major annoyance at the project’s direction, I’m staying on ubuntu because it’s been a mostly stress-free experience as a user (and I have an nvidia card, which does NOT help in that regard…).
Probably, but it is not a gaming device but a network managing one and its been running for way before bazzite and just the thought of having to configure it all again makes my skin crawl.

It took me ages to get the nerve to redo my media server. Then some of my hardware failed and I had to redo it again… By the third time redoing it I had become a lot more confident.
Also you learn to take notes on everything you touch and make backups lol

I dont find thus constant tech support fun.
But if the internet is dead, you can’t curl!
(Well, depending on what broke, I guess localhost may work)

You might prefer a more curated experience like Bazzite.
