Making releases for a rolling release distro is kind of ~~silly~~ based.
Why?
It's a snapshot with supposedly higher chance of working than any other point in time as it's been more thoroughly tested. It's a common reference point. It has prebuilt images and installers.
Don't Arch and Tumbleweed do the same thing just without giving them names?
Of course they do. It is a silly comment.
It's understandable if they use it for installation ISOs.
So when I install EOS for the first time, I should use the ISO from when the project was founded?
This comment is silly. The fact that every rolling release I can think of tracks against releases in exactly this way is not.
You have convinced me. Releases are based.
