Linux

that is quite literally one of the features of a rolling release distro.

It's one of the features, yes, but you can't tell me what my point for choosing Arch is, as you did in the other reply. I decide that point. Not you, not even Arch. I chose Arch for its other features, which is my prerogative, since it's free.

This is your argument that you brought up, that the "whole point" of a rolling release system is to have the latest software. I agree that "the point of a rolling release" is "to have the latest software". But the rolling release thing is just a bonus for me, and it's not why I chose Arch, so that argument doesn't work in my case. It isn't the only feature of the system.

As for pacman, then yeah I can agree that it’s a good reason to use Arch simply because you like the package manager. But that’s not what we’re talking about here.

Well I had to bring it up because it was to show you that I don't use Arch for its rolling release feature. 🤷‍♂️ People just have different reasons for choosing a distro. And thus, you can choose 👏 your 👏 own 👏 upgrading 👏 frequency 👏. That is my point. You are free to do as you wish. Nobody is holding a gun to your head telling you to run a cron job of pacman every five minutes.
