Wanted to know if there’s such a thing as Debian based distro but make it Rolling release, is that something already in existence or will I have to just tinker a lot within Debian?

    Fedora is rolling relase and stable. I choose fedora for some time, and after more than 4 years, never come back to deb based distro…

    It’s fun under EL

        Fedora is stable enough (never have any crash with Fedora for 5 years, as long as I remember on Thinkpad), and it’s bleeding edge, most of software that’s just published, will be available in most fedora repo less than 1 day, as I remember. If it’s not rolling release, then what is it? Or the term of rolling release is different?

          Fedora has quick updates, but big changes like gcc or gnome version upgrades, default desktop layout and included software, changes to the package manager, etc. all happen on numbered version releases. They’re on Fedora 38 now. Rolling release distros don’t have numbered releases, they just make changes whenever they’re ready and the “releases” are usually more or less arbitrary snapshots. If you go to the Arch download page, you’d see that the current release is just the date the snapshot was made.

        I’d second this. Fedora is great, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not rolling or stable.

        I think stable was referring to not crashing here.
