  > You get updates every 6 months with a really nice upgrade experience. It is not rolling. Also worth noting that these updates are optional. A given release has a ~13 months of support: --- We say maintained for approximately 13 months because the supported period for releases is dependent on the date the release under development goes final. As a result, Release X is supported until one month (4 weeks) after the release of Release X+2. This translates into: - Fedora 34 will be maintained until four weeks after the release of Fedora 36. - Fedora 35 will be maintained until four weeks after the release of Fedora 37. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Release_Life_Cycle#Maintenance_Schedule https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Release_Life_Cycle#Mai...

  You get upgrades every 6 months, but updates are rolled out constantly. For example Fedora gets the very newest kernels at the same pace as something like Arch, even for older releases. Fedora 33 currently has the same kernel as Fedora 35. I would consider it "semi-rolling". It has major releases, and a few packages are pinned for the duration of the release, core stuff like glibc, systemd, GNOME, compilers / toolchains for various languages and so on. But the rest of the system is kept very up to date.
