2. Using a Linux Ubuntu 20+ version

Updates every week. Major software such as browsers update every week, sometimes twice a week - Firefox, Chrome, Vivaldi (which really is the cats meow).

Other software such as word processors or spreadsheet might update once a year.

I should get back to Windows, but would involvee a new pc. I have an XP system but it's obsolete - modern VLC doesn't run on it.
