Yes, there are notifications. Be aware that, unless you use Flatpaks again, you'll not have many functional updates - mostly just security. That's just the way of Debian - keeping you on the same software for 2+ years in the name of stability. Unless you use Debian Testing, that is.
Unless I use flatpaks again? Remember I am going to be a first time Linux user. It'll be the first time I use anything!
Even as a first-time user, you'll figure it our rather quickly, no worries. It's not rocket science, just an option to toggle that allows you to install more modern versions of apps in an isolated mode.
But if we only look at regular installs, your software will stay at the same version until Debian 13 is rolled out, likely in summer 2025. Do not expect any large updates at all until then.
