>Couldn't you remain safe if you update monthly or weekly? That's what I with arch and beyond upstream devs being retarded, all goes well.
From my own experience (at least with Arch), with a rolling release there's always a degree of uncertainty especially for cutting/bleeding edge. It's not if you'll get shit breaking because libgayniggers.so.6 was not found, it's when. You can't easily predict behaviour. On a desktop I was more lenient towards doing a quick downgrade on occasion, on server I have zero tolerance for that. I need shit to be stable, and above all else that means predictability.

Addendum: I hear Void places a higher emphasis on stability despite being rolling release. Also xbps-src looks like what I want. I know @djsumdog runs Void even on cluster servers so Imma tag him for input.

>how so?
If there is a piece of software for Linux, 99.99% of the time it has a .deb package. Even if it's not in repos I can dpkg -i and have absolute confidence it will run. I can't say the same for Gentoo but I'm not as familiar with it.

>i don't like python, but i've heard tha portage just works well. maybe @prettygood can give some insight
would appreciate it.
