Rolling releases provides STABLE verions of software/packages. It is NOT "bleeding edge" since it is NOT a development branch. It is the latest stable version provided by the upstream (developer/cretors of the software). Point release comes from a time where we didn't have continous development. We didn't have these faster updates.
We should be using rolling release distros like Arch/Void/OpenSUSE more cos Linux ecosystem is far more stable than you think these days. I find more breaks in point releases than in rolling releases.
Use stable software. Not old software which gets software patches from the latest stable version after which each distro has to backport the fix. Then maintain that which leads to more bugs. Just use latest stable versions. Use rolling releases. :)
You don't call iOS 17 as bleeding edge. Firefox 119 which is the latest version of Firefox as bleeding edge right? It is a stable software version.
ALSO HARDWARE: Using Linux compatible hardware will make the entire experience pleasant. There is this notion that Linux works on anything. It does. BUT NOT 100%. You'll loose bluetooth, wifi or some other things. If you want good experience, don't go for vendors like Razer laptops and complain that Linux is not working properly. Use supported hardware. There are so many these days.
