Do users of immutable systems (i.e Nix or Guix) upgrade more or less often than other platforms?
There's less pressure to upgrade (unlike a rolling release distro) but in principle upgrading is easier.

I've released difftastic 0.68! A smaller update, but still worth upgrading:
* Improved Bash, C, Go, Lua, Nix, Perl, Python, Rust, Scala, Swift and YAML parsing.
* Minor display and git compatibility fixes.
I'm considering switching my personal servers (on Digital Ocean) from Ubuntu to Debian. I essentially just need something running Docker for most of my projects.
Debian seems to require upgrading less often. Any opinions?
