What exactly is the point of rolling release? My pc (well, the cpu) is 15 years old, I dont need bleeding edge updates. Or is it for security ?

    I would say

    Is this based on experience? Or are you guessing?

    I ask because my lived experience is that rolling releases break less in practice

    Before I used rolling releases, I spent more time dealing with bugs in old versions than I do fixing breakages in my rolling disto.

    And non-rolling “upgrades” were always fraught with peril whereas I update my rolling release without any concern at all.
