### 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
