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).
version upgrades might change major things so its not pushed onto everybody. if you want a single thing based in rolling updates, thats basically the Arch model. the thing with rolling updates of course is being on the bleeding edge means things also break easier.
