That too. But also, waiting for a point release is usually better. There's a reason a lot of people aren't upgrading to e.g. Ubuntu 22.04 right away; they wait for either .1 or, in some cases, .2. And the same goes for a lot of other software.
If you don't know when the next version is released (true for most newbies) then you won't know if there is an upgrade. I only used 2 Ubuntu based non-rolling distributions long enough to get an upgrade, and in Mint you have to go into the Update Manager and look under Edit to maybe see an upgrade some time after the new release.

Just a piece of advice:
If you're using any kind of rolling distro and you don't want to experience weird bugs caused by some new major DE version, postpone your updates until the second bugfix release for that major version. Or stop using rolling distros. Or choose your destiny as a bugreporter - whatever suits you best.
In other words, awareness is everything.Last edited by openminded; 22 May 2022, 01:28 AM.
