     @itsfoss rolling. Imo it's too much hassle to upgrade versions every few months. I usually find arch based distros on my laptop, and I've never had any issues with stability.

     @itsfoss I don't have a preference since I switched to Universal Blue Bluefin. I can run any distro I want as a Distrobox container, and I have both fixed-release and rolling-release containers.

     @itsfoss I’d love a rolling release (been an arc/parabola user in the past), but I find it too risky as of now. I find Fedora to be the sweet spot right now.

     @itsfoss Fixed release as I’m afraid I don’t have time for fixing my system with each upgrade…

     @itsfoss - would like to see more rolling releases.. with Debian philosophy of extensive testing. Not bleeding edge , but keeping up to date without having to reinstall a new release

     @itsfoss I like my rolling yet stable distro :manjaro: but I'm also jealous for all those big release events when all the nice features land together like it's Christmas morning 🎄

     @itsfoss Why not both?

     I have Arch as my main driver that I use for almost everything and then Linux Mint on another partition as my stable fallback when things don't work. (And sadly right now ROCm is messed up for me in Arch, so Mint gets to be the driver for that.)

     @itsfoss Yeah, I'm a roller with Gentoo. Surprisingly few issues, and I get feature updates much earlier.
