### Rolling vs Fixed vs Semi-Rolling Distrod
There are 3 ways that Linux distros get updated.
These are known as
1. Fixed distros (security updates only)
- more stable
- more secure
- older app versions w/out new app features
- upgrades every 6 months to 2 yrs
2. Semi-Rolling Distros (security and 3rd party updates)
- core distribution files are fixed
- 3rd party apps are rolling
3. Rolling Distros (security, core, and 3rd party updates)
- latest app versions
- less stable
- possibly more security issues due to newer cutting edge code
- upgrades a package as soon there's a new release
- upgrades constantly
Here is an [article explaining Rolling vs. Fixed Distros](
