What exactly is the point of rolling release? My pc (well, the cpu) is 15 years old, I dont need bleeding edge updates. Or is it for security ?

    Rolling vs. point release is not about whether a breaking change happens or not but when.

    With rolling, breaking changes could happen at any time (even when inconvenient) but are smaller and spread out.
    With point release, you get a big chunk of breaking changes all at once but at predictable points in time, usually with migration windows.
