Security is very important but also very technical. Vulnerabilities don't always affect your computer and can be quite difficult to understand. Most people don't understand them at all and their personal computers are rarely at risk. That said, a security breach can have dire consequences, so it is always recommended to take them seriously.

This makes kernel updates important from a security point of view, but also prone to regressions which can be hard to fix for novice users.
