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).
