I'm on an Arch flavor, so its whenever I feel like updating. I try to update frequently enough, but if i wait weeks or months, nothing breaks, it always just works, and I get the latest of everything.

Auto update is basically a root backdoor, it's especially troublesome when you are not the customer, you are the product!
