I was thinking of upgrading to MX 23; should I wait?

Upgrading from what to MX 23?


MX-18; still works good without updates. I tried using live MX-23, but ran into BIOS issues and current partition; I had setup an sda5 ext4 extension partition and a little leery about losing it, sda1 ext4 ...

Thanks @FullScale4Me , @DukeComposed

One set of rules containing allow and deny statements affecting Home, Office, and Public; that sounds reasonable.
