How does a kernel update work in MXLinux?

I have MXLinux 19.3 AHS 64bit with kernel mx 5.8.0-3-amd64 smp Debian 5.8.14-1~mx19+2 (2020-10-25) . Actually interested in how the kernel is updated? Then how to update it yourself or is it somehow automatically installed by itself? There are already newer kernels and I would like to try them.
There is a section with kernels in the built-in package installer, but they are old there too.
I have been sitting on Arch (Manjaro, Ctlos) for a long time, so I decided to return to deb-like ones. In Manjaro there is a program through which you put the kernel, in Ctlos the kernel itself is updated to the latest. I remember in Mint there was also a program for updating kernels, so I think that in MXLinux it should also be easy to update somehow.

It is not updated. A new one is downloaded and the entry in the bootloader changes.
