>Maybe with the steam deck it will become so battle tested it will turn into the most stable distro ever. Being a rolling release goes directly against that. It might be the most stable rolling release together with openSUSE Tumbleweed. When you combine it with a modern filesystem and features like snapshots it really feels solid. In the context of the Steam Deck they can just test and hold/fix bugs so that's a very different scenario. There are just too many changes everywhere and different hardware, software combinations, to expect a bug free experience. Not even Apple with a different release model can manage that and they control everything and have most of the hardware combinations to test. Many DEs and bigger applications need a few point releases to be better but maybe you're talking only about the base distro if it's even possible to make that distinction.
