The main downside to a rolling release distro, with that much drift there’s a good chance something will install that conflicts with something else, and nobody can really help because the only real way to replicate your install is to go back in time and do the same thing
YMMV based on distro. IIRC OpenSUSE has upgrade “pathing” to reduce conflicts during long delays between updates. Geckolinux has an iso released 6 months ago and it will update to the latest OpenSUSE packages.
I honestly think Arch could handle 3 months as well as long as you update the keyring and read the update news from Arch.
NixOS rolling wouldn’t give a damn but that’s not really fair since it basically rebuilds the whole system :P
The biggest issue is not getting security updates for 3 months.
I don’t care that much about Linux, but I did use it a bit in school. I still like seeing you guys argue about your favorite init system or whatever the hot topic is nowadays.
It’s ok because Linux content really is Windows content because in the end Linux users can’t talk about anything but Windows and how they hate it. Just like someone that got divorced and 20 years later still talks about their ex.
Well, looks like as many people loved my comment as people who hated it so I guess I’m not necessarily in the wrong place 🙂 But if you don’t like reading me feel free to block me!
I’ve got zero issues with it, I run 11 on four computers, if anything it’s more trouble every time I have to use my RPi, as if the amount of time you spend using a tool affects how comfortable you are with it.
