I’ve been wondering why Mint doesn’t seem to have an automatic major version upgrade built in? For those that have an opinion, do you agree with not having this? Why/why not?

I’ve been running Mint 21 for over a year now. I started using it not long before Mint 22 came out and have been dragging my feet on upgrading in fear of breaking something and having to reinstall (and losing something in the process). I’m in the process of setting up proper backups so I’ll probably do it after those are set up (or maybe wait until Mint 23).

    Yeah not sure, and tumbleweed is “versioned” in a way you get a discrete/prescribed set of updates when the dated build is ready…you can always update packages out of sync with the distribution upgrade I guess
