i have created a short questionnaire, regarding how GNU/Linux users secure their system. if you are somewhat knowledgeful on this topic and willing to share, i would appreciate if you would fill out my questionnaire

okay, so, my research is finished. here are the results:

The “other” distributions include: NixOS (8x), Gentoo (4x), Slackware (1x), Void Linux (1x) or a combination of multiple distributions

    Question 2 confuses me.

    ###Do you have automatic update checks enabled on your system?

    Yes, with daily checks.

    No, automatic updates are disabled.

    My system checks daily for updates and notifies me, but doesn’t automatically update. Is this “other,” or “yes”? Is the “no” option meant to say “automatic update[ check]s are disabled”? Or am I misunderstanding what an update check is?
