Last Windows 11 update changed all default browser settings to Edge

Similar reason to why I'm on Fedora. 6-month release cycle with a 12-month maintenance cycle. Which means I can frequently get on the latest kernel and other goodies such as Pipewire, yet I can also wait a couple months after release to pull the trigger in case there are issues.

I'm also seriously considering Fedora Silverblue once I get more of a feel for how it works under the covers.

How does that work with EOL for a release? Does everything break and you have to re-install?

My disk encryption is a little complicated so I'm happy that my rolling release means I only have to re-install when I swap boxes. That was my biggest issue with Ubuntu -- your were SOL when EOL :P

There's an in place upgrade process, as long as you haven't put a bunch of third party repositories/packages on the system they tend to go generally well

Some of the more drastic changes aren't adopted this way, eg: filesystem defaults

Eh, you could change your source repos/force upgrade etc — just couldn't expect the forums to support your borked system, afterwards.
