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 ?

    1. I like having the upstream versions of software instead of it being patched by package maintainers.
    2. I like having up to date software. It means that issue trackers for software I use are relevant
    3. Doing distro upgrades when they end support never works gracefully and i have to completely reinstall. I’d rather just use a rolling release which in practice works and is supported indefinitely
    4. I do like bleeding edge updates. For wine for instance
