I update whenever it is convenient or pushed. On Android it's not really a decision that I make, it just updates whenever it feels like it and so far I haven't disagreed very often. On my desktop I update Arch pretty much weekly, and Windows as little as possible because it wants to restart during the updating process and will probably just pull in more spyware. My Ubuntu laptop isn't used often, so it doesn't get updated often either. I also sometimes use some Fedora machines, which I also don't update too regularly.
Ubuntu and the multiple Fedora machines under my control also like to start unattended updates at the worst possible moments, which regularly interrupts my attempts to update or install stuff. I prefer to turn that shit off at every opportunity. I'd rather just get a notification that it wants me to update in the DE or terminal
