Those are the problems with rolling release on Windows, because they are forced. On Linux you can choose to never update ever, if that's what you think is best. You are fully in control. As for why I like rolling release: - It's much nicer never having to update your "whole" OS. It takes a long time, and you need to do backups in case the upgrade fucks things up. - I like having up-to-date software - Your workflow doesn't change like you say it does. I've been using rolling release OS's for the last 3 years, and my workflow hasn't changed since I started. If there's an update to a package with breaking changes, and you don't want to deal with it, then just don't upgrade that package.
