"Don't update your systems for a while" is exactly what an attacker would say.

If you can't trust your update sources, you have bigger problems.

If I'm being really frank, are system updates not more disruptive, destructive and result in more data loss and downtime than all the attacks you'll experience in your lifetime? (unless you're a high value business target ofc, I'm talking for personal machines)

In my book, having unattended-upgrades or windows update run amok on your system is functionally worse than a rootkit.
