Each Update, Security and otherwise, do have included descriptions. My
experience has been mainly with Debian and Ubuntu and I have not
experienced major changes you mention with the possible exception of
actually choosing a major version Upgrade like from a Ubuntu 10.04 to
newer 10.10 as example.
As in any OS (operating system) when Security Updates are issued they
are generally described as Critical to be applied - patching exploit
holes or updating code against same etc etc etc. But the other Updates
are issued and are Suggested Updates by the particular distro (Debian,
Xubuntu, Mint etc) that are available and are recommended by them as
improving the over all look and feel and operation of the system. It is
king of like the improvements and enhancements by new and newer versions
of the .Net Frameworks in Windows if familiar.... remotely similar in
some vein.
I used to read each description as to changes to occur, but over the
years now I just go ahead and apply them being Suggested Improvements
because I have NEVER experienced anything negative in them.
