thought that bragging rights about proving your insane willingness to do it all yourself was the whole point. lol

    Bragging rights are for memes. The actual appeal is a system that just runs (and runs and runs without needing reinstalls or complete upgrade overhauls, thx rolling release), and that you can actually modify (or repair) because it's close to upstream and does not stack one set of configurations on top of the build-in configs and another GUI tool (or two) again managing its own settings on top. All to isolate users from that somehow scary terminal...

    That's not even purely arch-specific, but I know a lot of people where rolling release solved the issue of distro hopping which was often triggered by one of those full upgrades that barely ever worked without issues.
