If you're using a LTS release then you should be aware that many of the programs in the repository will only get bug-fixes and security updates until the next LTS is out. You can get around this by using the Flatpak versions of those programs instead of the distribution's versions.
Nonsense. Long-term support (LTS) generally lasts until either a predetermined date or until multiple subsequent releases are out. I don't know of any that stop when the next LTS release arrives, but if such a distro exists, it is atypical.
Recent examples:
https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2023-38546
https://tracker.debian.org/news/1470204/accepted-curl-7740-13deb11u10-source-into-oldstable-security/
I don't mean that the security updates will stop, I mean that you'll only get security updates. If you want to get feature-updates between LTS releases you'll need the Flatpak versions.
