If familiar with windows then these are kind of like a service pack.
When you installed Linux for the first time did you not run the Update
Manager? That is a high number associated with a fresh install usually.
Click Update Manager (should be under System) and check Settings also.
You can choose to be notified about Upgrades to your distro (Mint,
Debian, Ubuntu etc) either each New Release or choose LTS Only (Long
Term Support) . Many distros allow checking Install Security Updates
Automatically. Non- security Updates are improvements and fixes. I have
always applied all available Updates.
In older days I have not seen a fresh install of Linux to be able to
actually fully function, especially the Software Center to install
softwares, until these Updates were applied. Generally from the Linux
ISO download to install Linux to the current date - there has always
been those many Updates that needed to be installed to bring it up to
speed - all security/patch/fix/updates.
