    Question about moving from Ubuntu to Debian - Package updates and security updates…

    On Ubuntu, I seem to get notifications almost every week about new package updates. (Through the apt UI)

    On Debian, I don’t see this.

    I can run apt update and apt upgrade

    On Ubuntu, I see this pull a bunch of package data from various package repo URLs.

    On Debian, I only see this pulling package data from two or three repo URLs at debian.org

    Mainly I am concerned about security updates and bug fixes. Do I need to manually add other repo sources to the apt config files? Or does debian update those repos regularly?
