Absolutely, but unless you’re on a rolling release, it still won’t be that long. For example, my homelab ubuntu server didn’t get updated for over a month, but when I finally did run updates it finished after no more than a minute. Depends a bit on hardware and network speed though.

It shouldn’t be an issue even on a rolling release. I mean it’s not like it installs every intermediary version of every package, it just jumps to the latest versions no? At least that’s how I imagine it works.

Right, but my tumbleweed install gets 100+ package updates per week, whereas ubuntu gets like 20

Yes. The question comes down to how many of these you need. And do you have the resources for it?
