Sure. If you run rolling releases, you get new bugs and new fixes as they come out.

If you run a stable distro, you get the same bugs for the whole release.

There's merit to both strategies. I use Debian on everything I can, but that's not necessarily what I'd recommend everybody use.




I wasn't referring specifically to rolling vs fixed release distros, and more just generally about the state of Nvidia's drivers on Wayland. Most distros still fallback to X11 with Nvidia because the Nvidia+Wayland still feels very much like a WIP.


or the middle ground of something like fedora where they update many packages during the release cycle.
