Personally, I like the rolling model. Chromebook is probably best example for regular users.
- 1_player 11y agoI moved to Arch because just clicking update on Ubuntu more often than not botched the upgrade somewhere. And I'm a power user. If I had a penny every time I had to help a friend with a failed Ubuntu upgrade...
- 72deluxe 11y agoYou "CLICKED" on upgrade? And you call yourself a power user! Why did you not type it into the CLI? If not a runlevel 3 perhaps with a tiling window manager. I jest :-)
- velodrome 11y agoI am on Arch. FTW. sudo pacman -Syu;
- velodrome 11y agoI moved for the same reason. CentOS w/ 6-10 years of updates is probably a better recommendation for newer users. Any upgrade to the latest version is a real pain in pretty much every distro. Arch is great but sometimes new updates can interfere with workflow (it requires me to be very active monitoring changes).
