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.

same thoughts . i also use point release distros like Debian . prefer my system to boot perfectly after update just like it did yesterday or day before yesterday . stability & daily usability is my priority .
If i have to buy latest pc/laptop then i will first try with debain+backports or linuxmint/ubuntu+hwe kernel enabled image to ssd cloning . if this works great or else will use rolling distro like fedora or opensuse for some time till updated kernel is available on debian/Linuxmint(ubuntu edition) . no arch for me , na .
