    Debian. Set it to stable instead of trixie and it’s kind of a rolling release. Testing if you want newer versions. You won’t get breakage unless you use sid.

      Does that have issues? Part of the reason I’m looking for a rolling release is way back in the late 2000’s, you could upgrade Ubuntu but things always broke and so you might as well reinstall

        I’ve not had issues doing distro upgrades in a long time, and I mess with my systems a lot. There’s been a lot of progress in 15+ years, and Debian is usually pretty good about keeping stuff working.
