1wThis was one of the articles sited by gemini in a pro/con I was doing with Pop-os vs Debian. I have 5 laptops and 1 server with Pop-os. One of the key decisions in going with Pop-os was that it is NOT a rolling release. On mission critical systems such as my web server running a custom Django/Python system I'm developing, Fixed release stability is important. Pop-os built on Ubuntu, which is built on Devian is very stable and is checked for stability from 3 companies. Not to be picky, but Pop-os is most definitely not a rolling release which in the case of business workstation/servers, is very important.
