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 ?

    • my hardware is pretty new, support for it is shaky on slower distros
    • i prefer to do small, generally reliable updates frequently rather than large, failure prone updates infrequently
    • although rare, i have run into the wall once or twice on slow release distros, where a program i want to use needs a newer version of a package than my distro supported
    • i like pacman, it’s a nice package manager
