Similar reason to why I'm on Fedora. 6-month release cycle with a 12-month maintenance cycle. Which means I can frequently get on the latest kernel and other goodies such as Pipewire, yet I can also wait a couple months after release to pull the trigger in case there are issues.
I'm also seriously considering Fedora Silverblue once I get more of a feel for how it works under the covers.
- freeqaz 5y agoHow does that work with EOL for a release? Does everything break and you have to re-install? My disk encryption is a little complicated so I'm happy that my rolling release means I only have to re-install when I swap boxes. That was my biggest issue with Ubuntu -- your were SOL when EOL :P
- bravetraveler 5y agoThere's an in place upgrade process, as long as you haven't put a bunch of third party repositories/packages on the system they tend to go generally well Some of the more drastic changes aren't adopted this way, eg: filesystem defaults
- tata71 5y agoEh, you could change your source repos/force upgrade etc — just couldn't expect the forums to support your borked system, afterwards.
