I stopped upgrading about 6 months ago and am very happy with the decision. I had to say goodbye to some cloud services but it's saved me a ton of time and hassle.

I stopped upgrading about 4 years ago. Kinda terrified to update at this point. Everything just works the way it is so I don't dare touch it anymore.

Yeah the thought of ceasing updates scares me for that reason. Better to just stay up to date imo.

Once I weighed rhe cloud services Id lose vs the amount of stuff that breaks in upgrades (which I often don't realize until months later), I realized that I was losing a lot more from upgrading than not upgrading.
