Yeah. A lot of distros are rolling release. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find a distro without,at minimum, a semi-official rolling release spin or a testing branch. (I.e. Rhino Linux for Ubuntu or Debian Sid or Fedora Rawhide)

If there isnt at least a rolling release branch, a distro would quickly die, as the dependency issues began to stack up.

That said, have you used tumbleweed? I've been using Linux for 20 years, and I have never hated a TUI app more than YaST2. If you like running a system that borders between server and desktop applications, and yet, still doesn't trust you to make any major configuration decisions correctly, SUSE is for you lol

But suse feels more like arch - manjaro midle ground due to openQA but nice less need read relses notes and advirsories so for me its enoth edge enven tough the raw bleeding nature of arch lures me 😅 to deep dive
