There's actually linux mint debian edition rather than ubuntu edition

wasn't it stopped? was using it around 2012 but thought they stopped maintening it.

Liked it because there was no need for version upgrade

Nope I use it and they are on the most recent stable Debian. No snaps and built in flatpack support.

I'm running the most recent version, based on Bookworm, as my daily driver.

LMDE6 came out within the last couple of months. It's based on Debian 12 which, at time of writing, is less than 6 months old.

Upgrading is still wise every couple of years because the base Debian distro also reaches EOL, but yes, rolling updates occur constantly in the meantime. Provided the system owner allows them to anyway.

You probably thought that because debian moves so slow.
