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 me its security patches. I frequently lock app versions manually.

    I do have an old laptop that uses a fixed release, because it sees infrequent use.

    One needs to adjust whats needed per usecase. For me that means daily drivers get semi-rolling or rolling. Where stability is neede/older systems, fixed releases.
