This is generally true of any decent desktop environment - remember
that Microsoft releases updates about every other Tuesday!  And they
generally install automatically [unless you disabled that].

I do not understand the concept of LTS for a desktop.

I run the rolling release [Tumbleweed] of openSUSE.  But it is up to me
when to update.  So I update when I have the time, and it is okay if
maybe something has an issue.  When I am swamped with work - or it is
*MONDAY* - or I have a deadline; then I just work and ignore updates. 
 If everything is working you always have the option to LEAVE IT ALONE.

People who think it is a great idea to do updates on Sunday night...
that is not a technology problem.
