       I have the constant dilemma of what kind of distro to use: A rolling release for all the best features, or a stable distro I can install and forget about. It depends on the use case, I guess, and mine seem to lean rolling release. But damn if stables aren’t sexy, too. #linux

       @Animortis You should only use rolling releases (minimum something like Fedora which is kind of rolling, not really). Stable releases miss out on more meaningful security patches and years of progress.

       @trafotin I don’t agree on the security patches part — Most stable distros have security teams and can run their own patching for their versions of software, especially if they’re big. Progress, though, yes. Like being able to run Intel Arc cards, or having ffmpeg encode in AMF. Or the new patches to Vulkan. Compelling reasons to run a rolling release distro. Especially as a content creator and gamer.
