### 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
