The update functionality for older versions to upgrade to the new version will be released a few weeks after the iso release of Linux Mint 22. It'll be an available upgrade in the Software Update Center application.
Mint for years but i forget. In the updates make sure fully updated first. Then i remember some sort of upgrade command.
Im not much help but i think i did it once. Or you can preserve your home folder, broweser bookmarks, etc... the load the new os from scratch, but im sure theres an upgrade option.
LMDE 6 has only been out for less than a year. It's based on Debian 12. Debian 13 will likely be out around this time next year, and the future LMDE 7 will be based on that.
Yes it does, regularly. Don’t know what that person is talking about acting like it somehow wouldn’t.
They update Cinnamon regularly, and the main release is updated when Debian has a new stable release. This makes sense, since it’s based on Debian instead of Ubuntu. LMDE 6 is less than a year old.

Open the Update Manager (click on the little shield icon down near the clock) and click Edit > Upgrade to Linux Mint 22.
Their website will have more thorough details.
