    is there a way to make it work like a rolling release of sorts? i’d want to use debian, but i don’t want to stay with old packages and wait 2 years for an update

      You could use debian testing. It’s a somewhat “rolling-release” model. You will get more up to date packages with more stability too.

      You could also use unstable, but I wouldn’t recommend it personally.

      Edit: if you really need the most up to date version of some packages, you can pin them to use the unstable repo. This would be a pretty reasonable solution.

      You could just go with Debian unstable. I rarely ran into issues while running it in a rolling release style.

      Debian testing might also work for you. But it will have a freeze window before each release.
