Selling/supporting Linux for people that cannot even spell Linux, my rules;

I suggest stability versus security, i.e. playing the odds

I suggest commenting out everything in /etc/apt/sources.list , no updates = no chance of things randomly breaking.

Then charging 2-4 times a year for patching/updates and the possible aftermath that can ensue.

Part of the reason for this is even program changes could send the customers into a tailspin of hate.

Without support and guidance, especially in the early stages of using Linux, they are less likely to stick with the platform and go back their default OS, no matter how frustrating it is.
