What exactly is the point of rolling release? My pc (well, the cpu) is 15 years old, I dont need bleeding edge updates. Or is it for security ?

    For software developers, it is better to have frequent tiny changes that can break things, than a big mess of breakage.

    Do you hate distractions? Do you love steady improvements? This will affect your preference and judgement about rolling release.

    The same can be true for desktop users. It also depends on how stable your software is. If you use mainly vim, dwm, and LaTeX, very few changes will break your flow.
