We've seen users disabling or not being aware of unattended-upgrades, which is one of the top features ensuring up-to-date security. Perhaps I could replace the last line with "For most use-cases this is the best way to ensure you get all patches quickly" ?

How about "Make sure your Ubuntu systems receive security updates automatically"? That way we aren't directly encouraging an admin to make a configuration change that could impact their service availability, if they're unaware of updates being managed at a different layer.

Thanks, Steve. So would you +1 the following?

#
#Canonical released microcode updates for both Intel (CVE-2022-40982)
#and AMD (CVE-2023-20593) CPUs. Make sure your Ubuntu systems receive
#security updates automatically".

Sorry, I meant to replace only the last sentence.

Also given the additional context of knowing users are disabling unattended-upgrades and trying to address ourselves to them, if you don't like this I would ok your original text as well.

ok, in that case I'd prefer to go with the original text. do you need me to do anything to push it out?
