Rolling Release Linux Distro Probably Isn't For You #Linux #YouTube https://youtu.be/hFGmHNcYWeU

No, use @fedora instead and have the excitement of updating twice per year.

Packages there are almost as recent as on something (unstable) like Arch, btw.

Still funny that rolling release distros have been just as stable as the point ones for me. In the case of Ubuntu, the rolling release is WAY more stable (but it has been few years since I ran Ubuntu last).

I don't get the download speed limitation. I once had 5 Mbps downloads and the house ran with 2 Arch computers, and 1 on Void just fine.

In the worst case-scenario, you can just set updates to download overnight (at least on Void) and suspend the computer once they're finished, then install instantly the next day.

@malin You can make it work with a slower connection, it's just that you have to plan your day around when you're going to update. With something faster you can just get it done whenever you're free
