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 ?

    Stable will still get security patches and bug updates, just no new major kernel jumps or new features.

      . . . until something in the stack requires a significant kernel upgrade, and then you’re stuck.

        Yep, it is helpful for corporate applications, where nothing can introduce possible behavioural changes, that affect users, program function or the application development.
