Wanted to know if there’s such a thing as Debian based distro but make it Rolling release, is that something already in existence or will I have to just tinker a lot within Debian?

    Fedora has quick updates, but big changes like gcc or gnome version upgrades, default desktop layout and included software, changes to the package manager, etc. all happen on numbered version releases. They’re on Fedora 38 now. Rolling release distros don’t have numbered releases, they just make changes whenever they’re ready and the “releases” are usually more or less arbitrary snapshots. If you go to the Arch download page, you’d see that the current release is just the date the snapshot was made.
