That’s impressive! What’s your setup like, I’m assuming you don’t have too many unnecessary packages installed to minimize the time spent troubleshooting issues?
A rolling release Linux distribution continuously provides updates as they become available, without the need for an OS re-installation to get the latest released version.
You can update a standard release distribution just fine, no need to reinstall anything. It does basically the same thing as a rolling release, just not as often and more packages at once.
Rolling release means I never have to reinstall linux. Unless it breaks and I don’t know how to fix it. So far It’s been 1 year on Arch.

6 years on Arch with no re-installs. Most reliable distro I’ve used. 👍
