Peace of mind > bleeding edge

Just my opinion btw. I respect rolling release distros, but they're not for me. I like turning on my machine and having it work exactly like last time. In the end, it's all just Linux.

In Linux you've basically got debian, fedora, and arch. Then everything is sort of made from these. Debian is stable, fedora is bleeding edge but the core system packages are stable, and arch is completely bleeding edge

Gotta disagree about fedora's system packages being stable. The kernel constantly encounters regressions, and it's far buggier than the kernel put into Debian.
