From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Which distro with rolling release do you prefer?
I like EndeavourOS (Arch based) and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (or Gecko Linux). But if you prefer sticking with apt based distro Debian Sid is a rolling release.
Check out Linux Mint Debian Edition, if it still exists. It was also rolling release.
I used Manjaro in 2015 for about a year before switching to Arch and sticking with that for a long time. Recently I tried EndeavorOS for a few months, then I switched to Void just to try it.
I can solidly recommend either Arch or Void.
Fedora is cool, I also want to try SUSE and endeavor though so I can't speak on those yet.
Does fedora have a rolling version?

I think this counts but tbh I could be misunderstanding something.
I forgot about rawhide. But it's not really intended for the general public, similar to debian testing, isn't it?
I think so, but from what I hear it is pretty stable, enough to use. I'd keep backups of important files, but I do that anyway. I use the Branched release myself, but an aquaintance of mine uses rawhide.
