Absolutely, but unless you’re on a rolling release, it still won’t be that long. For example, my homelab ubuntu server didn’t get updated for over a month, but when I finally did run updates it finished after no more than a minute.
Depends a bit on hardware and network speed though.
Trigger warning! Updating my linux systems takes 15 seconds ;)
And you can postpone it to whenever you want, also post thesis defence.
It depends how out of date you are.
