Oh, I'm so glad you asked anon, I'm sure the following will be absolutely enlightening and just as interesting to (You) as it would be to me reading someone else's rambling.
>Arch desktop and laptops
I've developed a habit of pic rel every time I start particular PC, checking list of updates and if it's kernel/systemd/glibc/etc. then I reboot, if KDE then relogin. I'm not often in rush so I prefer to do this first before work/ponyposting/gaems, if something breaks I'll fix it, and at least I don't worry about outdated software.
>Debian servers
unattended-upgrades every night and manual rebooting for kernel or other significant components. Stable workhorsies, pet pet pet.
>Kubernetes clusterfuck
Usually during weekends unless Renovate PR comes with a CVE attached.
>OpenWrt, OPNsense
Reluctantly and typically with a bit of delay, because I feel immeasurable discomfort pulling my homelab off internet for 30 seconds. HA routerpones are difficult, please understand.
>Windows
Whenever Mr. Bill decides it's time to do so, usually when I dualboot for one specific thing that needs Windows and is time sensitive.
>GrapheneOS
Whenever those dedicated security autists release to stable. Surprisingly good QA so far for a "community" project.

No, x86 machines so far (although would give some ARM laptop a chance). In general I like my servers to have updates less often, but on desktops I prefer not waiting 2 years for newer "system level" software, e.g. KDE6 came to Debian stable just now. I'm also used to convenience of easy to audit AUR packaging, and Arch repos typically having most of what I need in recent versions, although I'm growing displeased with distro maintainers being the ones responsible for packaging 3rd party stuff for their OS. Sometimes packages stay out of date, I wanted to bump one but had some issues with build that the app devs and Nix maintainers clearly didn't, so I was disappoint that I just wanted to run some shit and couldn't because of each distro having different build environments/scripts for the same shit. Debian and Ubuntu had prebuilt packages from app vendor, I would only need to do a naughty thing and add their apt repo. REEE.
Yeah, I know, Linux distros are essentially 3rd party stuff glued together. I use macOS for work sometimes and I liked the "separation of responsibilities" between Apple delivering base OS and brew delivering your whatever actual third party software, in a rather standardized way from what I can tell, so curl | sh isn't as popular. So it's still a fourth party packaging third party's software, but it's so popular that the third party devs themselves might be the ones maintaining those brew install scripts. Well, I hope that's the case more often than on Linux.
I don't know, maybe it's time to check out the BSDs. Make a deal with a certain spiky-tailed, red-coated mare. Surely she'll pull me out of this packaging hell, and into her own fires of passion.

FUCK
