    So, your personal computer then? Just one instance?

    Do you think that holds up when you are supporting a legacy environment of 200+ VMs and iron with code written by the cheapest consultants for 20+ years?

    Because that is a very different experience.

      ::From the shadows, a ragged, scruffy, burnt out looking enterprise IT employee slowly emerges into the room. His button-up grid patterned shirt has a few buttons hanging on for dear life. His face lit only by flickering server lights and a crumpled cigarette smolder lazily hanging from his dry, crusty lips. His employee badge sways to and fro with each bedraggled rise and fall of his gaunt shoulders.::

      “Oh, you like your rolling releases and your AURs and your ‘cutting edge’ software huh?”

      ::He takes another drag before blowing a stench into your face that can only be described as vaporized despair. He then drops the cigarette into his coffee with a hiss, swirls it a few times, and takes a long swig.::

      “Do you think that holds up when you are supporting a legacy environment of 200+ VMs and iron with code written by the cheapest consultants for 20+ years?”

      ::His eyes narrow. The open source software enthusiasts who were moments ago happily discussing their personal computing experiences are stunned, unsure what to say.::

      “…Because that is a very different experience.”

      ::He turns and melds back into the server room from which he emerged, mumbling something that sounds like ‘absolute fools’ and ‘don’t even know about ESXI…’

      No, I use it on my personal computer as well as my server and that of my org, with a nextcloud, website and forum.

      No. I never claimed rolling release is right for every system.
