From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

there are distros that run on debian sid, if you prefer debian as a distro, but want a more up to date experience.
im running pika os, because it offers up to date gaming tweaks, but doesnt force you to update as often. keep in mind: that os is not something i would recommend for a environment where stability is the goal, because there are only a few maintainers. its just an example of debian sid!
i suspect that i'm looking for something that doesn't exist; the iteration has be less frequent than fedora, but more frequent that debian.
someone else recommended a rolling release so i think i'll give that a shot.
