Not directed at you, just as a reference for anyone stumbling over this post: Don't reject security updates. There is no reason and it leaves vulnerabilities unpatched. You risk a lot and gain nothing. Patch regularly.

The thing is that nearly every IT professional will tell you to always do security updates.This is not a situation where there are different opinions, it's just a fact.

They remind you, and implore you, telling you that it can be a security risk, but they don't secretly update in the background or stuff like that. Fairphone has also always been very supportive towards installing non-stock android OS on their devices, (including pure Linux distros for phones running well enough).

That's helpful, thank you. This kind of crap from Samsung drove me insane.

They even have a list on their forum with OSs you can install. https://forum.fairphone.com/t/operating-systems-for-fairphones/11425
