Update often or not? (feddit.de)

Do you update your Arch often (daily) or not?
Which would be better?

I figure, if I update every day, I'll likely not expect any issues, so I'd be less careful. And if something goes wrong (cause I didn't read the news or the PKGBUILDs), I probably won't have time to fix it right now.
Whereas if I update monthly, it's something I'm taking my time to do, read the news beforehand, pay more attention and will have scheduled some time for it.

What's your take?

I do a Syu almost every day, I also do a Timeshift snapshot every day. So if ever something is broken I can just boot into TS and reinstall yesterday's working system. Then I read the forums. That way I can see what breaks the system Only ever needed to that twice because of Nvidia updates (I'm running a very old card)

I have a bit of deja vu. I've had major issues with arch twice and it was nvidia both times.
