Every hour was obviously hyperbole. It would break often. Normally due to some issue that would pop up, most often drivers.
She did run on unstable and had a fetch for updates automated every evening. Her goal wasn't a stable OS, but to be at the forefront of testing. She knew no programming, so it meant that she would report bugs and have a box with a giant fan that didn't run anything most of the time. She made bad choices.
I'm sure stable Debian is stable. I'm sure it's gotten better in the past 15 years, but the fact my experience with Debian was an unstable mess that was more of a job than a useable system makes me suspicious of the distro.
You shouldn't use Debian unstable as a rolling distro. It's gonna break.
You use a real rolling distro aimed to end users.
