Are you familiar with branches beyond Stable? I switched from Arch to Debian Unstable (which uses a rolling release) and find their edges to be about equally sharp.

I haven't touched Debian in a long time, and I didn't know that unstable was a rolling release. Thanks for the info, I might look into it someday.

Unstable was always a rolling release, it gets just frozen for some time before each stable release because the process of getting a package in testing requires it to be in unstable first.
