I use Linux Mint since maybe 7 years, or more. I update through the
Mint update application. I choose a long term release so it can stay
the same for years, eg. getting security updates for maybe 4 years or
more so no need to fully update. After installing Mint I go through
my checklist for audio use and install a proper kernel, some libraries,
the soft synths, the plugins, etc. And that's it. Everything can run
fine for years, from past experience.
Naturally, all the data is not anywhere near a system partition. This
means that all data can be shared amongst any Linux OS that can be
booted. So once in every 5 years or so I update the OS by
installing a brand new one somewhere else. Then I go trough the
checklist, and make the symlinks to the data and it's basically ready
to go.
Cheers.
