For instance whenever there is a new Firefox, it takes a few hours or max a day to have the new .deb, and you have access to test repo and backport ; if needed flatpaks and snap but I never used them.
It’s not a rolling release, I updated from MX18 to 21 23 25, but pretty easily.
OK for a non rolling release such updates are usually only for a few selected packages. AFAIK Ubuntu did something similar years ago. But most likely you are still on older kernels and drivers and 80% of everything else.
It’s not necessarily a bad thing, because the idea is to minimize breakage. But I think your claim “up to date packages” is overstating it.
What? Last I checked it wasn’t a rolling release, so how are packages up to date?
