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 ?

    They are cool cos you get to say “btw I use <insert-distro-name>”.

    Also, one big advantage is the end of big disruptive updates - e.g. the one from Win10 to Win11.

    You don’t have to live on the edge either. Arch for example has an LTS version.

      Interesting. I did not know Arch had an LTS version.

        It has an LTS kernel. Not a separate version. This does not make everything LTS. This is very different from LTS distros.
