There were some pretty big differences in windows 8. Not sure how you wouldn’t have noticed them.
Yeah, this screams "the default browser is my operating system"/"chrome hasn't changed in 10 years why do I need to update my computer". Hell even assuming op is using their computer like a kiosk, you'd still have to notice a few differences. I'm partially blind and I can see lots of changes, lol.
I mostly use LibreOffice, Firefox, qBitTorrent, VLC and the Terminal (sudo apt-get update)
I don't notice much difference.
Maybe you shouldn't be downloading torrents if you're not sure how/why updates happen.
That actually makes it more confusing. Unless you're on a rolling release distro , each major version will have a different repository of software - newer Linux Distro releases having newer programs.
An example that's more visible from the standard user POV would be an Ubuntu user seeing GNOME being updated up a major feature release between Ubuntu versions. Without updating to the new version of Ubuntu, they'd only see maintenance patches and minor feature additions rather than anything gamechanging
