Contents

Although a rolling release model can be used in the development of any piece or collection of software, it is often seen in use by Linux distributions, notable examples being for instance GNU Guix System, Arch Linux, Gentoo Linux, openSUSE Tumbleweed, GhostBSD, PCLinuxOS, Solus, SparkyLinux and Void Linux.

Is Ubuntu a rolling release?

With a rolling release, your distribution always has the latest software. Thing is, with Ubuntu, you don’t have a choice, as it is a fixed release.

Is MX Linux a rolling release?

Now, MX-Linux is often called a Semi-Rolling release because it has traits of both rolling and fixed release models. Similar to Fixed releases, the official version-updates happen every year. But at the same time, you get frequent updates for software packages and dependencies, just like with Rolling release Distros.
