Rolling Release Vs. Fixed Release Distros — Which Linux Distributions Are Better?

Rolling Release Vs. Fixed Release Distros — Which Linux Distributions Are Better? Different methods are available for updating Linux distributions. On this basis, we can broadly classify various distros as rolling distributions and fixed release distributions. Rolling means that the updates are pushed as soon as they are coded. In fixed release, the updates are tested thoroughly and pushed at once. For the end user though another important distinction (to me anyway) is that a rolling release is usually installed once and receives updates as they happen vs a fixed release which comes with an ISO release which you often do a proper re-install when it it is released (yes there is often an upgrade option but the best approach is usually a clean install).
