Keeping a system up to date prevent from any known security issues to be used. In this article, I’m helping you maintaining your Debian based distro up to date.
Why should I keep a computer up to date?
On each update, developers cast new security fixes and new features implementation. In a word, it means that update is to improve your experience.
If you don’t update, security is not fixed. But the exploits is already casted on the web. It means that if someone know that you are not up to date, he potentially know ways to compromise your system. He has just to look online (specially on a vulnerability database) and he know how to hack your computer.
Why should I avoid update?
As told above, update include changes. This may create compatibility issues for your programs.
I was using Wine in Mint 18.2 and when I upgraded, wine didn’t work on 32-bit EXE.

So, you have to check compatibility before upgrading. You can also downgrade if you see compatibility issues after upgrade (if the upgrade allow it).
Updating Debian (or Debian based distro)
Debian and Debian based distributions (Ubuntu, Mint, Devuan, …) uses APT (Advanced Packaging Tool) to manage installed software, called “packages”. And APT access to online repositories to get packages lists with its latest versions. So, maintaining Debian up to date is extremely easy. Just tell APT to get new packages list:
root@compute845$ apt-get updateKeep in mind that you have to use exclusively the root user (you can also use sudo if you know how to use it).
Then, you’ll have this result:
root@compute845$ apt-get update

Congratulations! Your upgrade is done. The next step is to upgrade some sensitive packages (those who need to remove radically some old packages to replace them, like the kernel for example). The step is the same, but the command is:
root@compute878$ apt-get dist-upgrade
You can discover this way yourself.
Hope you loved this tutorial. More is coming soon.
