Rolling release distros do have problems with drivers though, especially proprietary Nvidia ones. Source: used both Manjaro and Tumbleweed, both died in less than a year to Nvidia driver updates.
I do find Fedora to be a nice balance between stability and update frequency. It’s not rolling release so you’ll be waiting a while for the very newest updates, but the yearly releases do a good job at getting the latest features. I have also never had a Fedora installation outright break due to a package update.
I am nervous because of Fedora’s ongoing affiliation with Red Hat (they’re by far Fedora’s biggest sponsor), since their now parent company, IBM, definitely seems to be making profit driven decisions over ones that benefit Linux and Libre software as a whole, and I imagine Red Hat has a lot of leverage over a small, nonprofit (AFAIK) organization like Fedora.
Just roll with whatever, it works.
Just curious, do you mean just roll with works or that all the rolling release options you mentioned seem to work well with Nvidia stuff nowadays? I might have to try going back to Tumbleweed or Arch if it’s the latter.
