林林总总的 Linux 发行版可以根据它们的特点、功能、预期用户群等分为不同的类别。在这篇文章中，我将列出一些最好的滚动发布的 Linux 发行版。


你知道什么是 [滚动发布的发行版](https://itsfoss.com/rolling-release/) 吗？这些发行版不会等待 6 个月或更长时间才发布一个新的版本，提供给你更新的 Linux 内核、桌面环境和其他主要软件组件。它们会在这些组件发布后很快就进行更新。你不必将你的发行版从一个主要版本升级到下一个版本，因为你的发行版会定期得到升级。


现在你已经知道了，让我们来看看一些最好的滚动发布的 Linux 发行版。


### 你可以在桌面上使用的最佳滚动发行版


是的，这个列表主要是针对桌面用户。这里列出的一些发行版可能有服务器版本，但这不是这里的重点。


请注意，这并不是一个排名表。


#### 1、openSUSE Tumbleweed


![OpenSUSE Tumbleweed](/data/attachment/album/202112/24/121104r6jz66z6mkprnho0.png)


老派的 openSUSE 多年来一直按部就班地顺着版本号发布他们的系统。但在几年前，他们决定改变他们的产品，创建了 [openSUSE Leap 和 Tumbleweed](https://itsfoss.com/opensuse-leap-vs-tumbleweed/)。


openSUSE Leap 采用的是版本式发布，每隔几年就会有一个新的版本，而 Tumbleweed 则是滚动式发布，新的软件在发布后不久就会出现在这个系统中。


[openSUSE Tumbleweed](https://get.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/) 对于那些想留在红帽 RPM 阵营的人来说是一个很好的选择。openSUSE 有多样化的生态系统，它有一个巨大的软件库，Zypper 和 YaST 为你的软件包管理提供了很多选择。


#### 2、Arch Linux


![Arch Linux](/data/attachment/album/202112/24/121104e4xz0m1p1shmtbqp.png)


毋庸置疑，[Arch Linux](https://archlinux.org/) 是最流行的滚动发布版本。它几乎就是滚动发布的同义词。


[Arch Linux](https://itsfoss.com/why-arch-linux/) 在 Linux 用户中具有崇高地位的原因有很多。我认为这更多是与 [安装 Arch Linux](https://itsfoss.com/install-arch-linux/) 后的成就感有关，因为即使是安装程序，它都很别人不一样。


Arch 在其软件库中正式提供了一大批软件。而 [AUR 则通过社区的努力，几乎使所有其他的 Linux 软件都可以使用](https://itsfoss.com/aur-arch-linux/)。


如果你对 Linux 有一定的经验，想挑战自己的水平，这是一个不错的选择。


#### 3、Manjaro Linux


![Manjaro Linux](/data/attachment/album/202112/24/121105crzxlylbhppah4g8.png)


[Manjaro](https://manjaro.org/) 基本上是免除了所有麻烦的 Arch Linux。


它是基于 Arch Linux 的，所以它具有 Arch Linux 的大部分优点。你可以得到 Pacman 和 AUR 的滚动发布模式。同时，Manjaro 有图形化的安装程序、基于 GUI 的软件包管理器和其他图形化工具来改善你的桌面体验。


Manjaro 更容易安装，也更容易使用。对于那些想舒适地呆在 Arch 领域的人来说是个不错的选择。


注意: 还有 [许多其他基于 Arch Linux 的优秀发行版](https://itsfoss.com/arch-based-linux-distros/)，但我无法将其列入此列表中。如果你愿意，你可以试试 Garuda Linux、[EndeavourOS](https://endeavouros.com/) 和其他许多基于 Arch 的发行版。


#### 4、Solus Linux


![Solus Linux](/data/attachment/album/202112/24/121105satqqg3glqqq95eb.png)


和 Manjaro 一样，[Solus](https://getsol.us/home/) 也是一个 “谨慎” 的滚动发行版。与 Manjaro 不同的是，它不是基于 Arch 的。它是从头开始创建的，使用的是 [eopkg 软件包管理器](https://itsfoss.com/eopkg-commands/)。Solus 因创造了现代而直观的 Budgie 桌面环境备受赞誉。


像其他滚动发布的发行版一样，一旦你安装了 Solus，你就不需要升级到下一个版本的发行版（也可以像 ISO 刷新一样进行全新安装，带有更新的软件包）。


万一有欠缺的软件包也可以用 Snap 应用程序来补足。


如果你想要一些不同的东西，但又不至于复杂到让你感到不舒服，那么 Solus 是一个不错的选择。


#### 5、Debian Testing


![Debian](/data/attachment/album/202112/24/121105ahp1b5v5u91vhjpp.png)


你没有想到吧？Debian 以其对稳定性的关注而闻名，以至于其稳定的有时就像是陈旧，因为它提供的软件版本已经相当老旧。


但那是针对稳定分支的。Debian 有几个分支，其中一个叫做 Testing 分支。


看起来 Testing 是某种测试版、不稳定的版本，但这并不完全正确。[Debian Testing](https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting) 其实是下一个 Debian 稳定版本。实际的开发分支是 Debian Unstable（即 Sid）。Debian Testing 介于不稳定版和稳定版分支之间，它会在稳定版之前添加新的功能。


有些人在配置 Debian 时，在源列表中加入 `testing`。这使得他们的 Debian 系统永远停留在测试阶段。这是一种滚动发布的模式，Debian 用户可以不必离开舒适的 APT 和 deb 软件包管理系统。


#### 6、Void Linux


![Void Linux](/data/attachment/album/202112/24/121105kwncilaqw4gi6wnm.png)


这是一个不寻常的、不太出名的发行版。[Void](https://voidlinux.org/) 也是从头开始创建的，也就是说，它不是基于 Arch、Red Hat 或 Debian。


它是滚动发布的，但不像 Arch 那样激进。它优先考虑的是稳定性。这意味着当新的版本发布时，你不需要升级版本，但你也不会在最新的桌面环境版本一发布就得到它。


与其他发行版不同的另一点是，它使用 [runit](http://smarden.org/runit/) 作为初始化系统。


总的来说，如果你是一个有经验的 Linux 用户，Void 是一个不错的选择。


#### 7、Gentoo Linux


![Gentoo Linux](/data/attachment/album/202112/24/121105l67072zotp33oaot.png)


另一个是你的同行们警告过的 [专家级 Linux 发行版](https://itsfoss.com/advanced-linux-distros/) 之一。


[Gentoo](https://www.gentoo.org/) 不是每个人都能享用的茶或咖啡（无论你喜欢哪一种）。从安装到配置再到软件包管理都需要一定的专业知识和时间。


但是它有一个小众的专家用户群，他们会在编译一切需要的组件时废寝忘食。


如果你觉得其他发行版都不够有挑战性，Gentoo 可能是你的选择。


### 你对滚动发布的发行版有什么建议？


正如我之前提到的，我在这里特意将其他基于 Arch 的发行版排除在外，否则列表中就只有 Arch 的衍生产品了。


但你可以自由地投出你的推荐，即使它是基于 Arch 的。评论区都是你的。

There are so many Linux distributions that can be divided into different categories based on their characteristics, update schedule, features, intended user base and more.

In this article, I will list some of the best rolling release Linux distributions. If you are curious, these distros are special because of their update cycle.

[rolling release distro](https://itsfoss.com/rolling-release/)?

These distros do not wait for six months or more to release a new version with newer versions of the Linux kernel, desktop environment and other major software components.

They update these components soon after they are released. You do not have to upgrade your distribution from one major version to the next because your distribution keeps getting the upgrades regularly.

Now that you have an idea of what I am going to list, let’s take a look at some of the best rolling release distros that you can use on the desktop.

![](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/09/what-is-rolling-release-distribution.png)


*In addition, note that this is not a ranking list.*## 1. openSUSE Tumbleweed

![opensuse tumbleweed](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/12/opensuse-tumbleweed.png)

The good old openSUSE focused on stability for years with their point release system. A few years ago, they decided to change their offering by creating [openSUSE Leap and Tumbleweed](https://itsfoss.com/opensuse-leap-vs-tumbleweed/).

While openSUSE Leap follows a point release with a new version coming after every few years, Tumbleweed is rolling release with new software landing in soon after their release.

[openSUSE Tumbleweed](https://get.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/?ref=itsfoss.com) makes a great choice for those who want to stay on the RPM side (Red Hat side). openSUSE ecosystem is a lot more diverse with a huge repository of software and Zypper and YaST gives you plenty of options for package management.

## 2. Rhino Linux

Rhino Linux is an Ubuntu-based rolling release offering that features the XFCE desktop environment.

It utilizes [Pacstall](https://github.com/pacstall/pacstall) at its core to let you easily manage/install packages. You can also choose to enable Flatpak and extras like [Nala](https://itsfoss.com/nala/) for package management from its welcome screen.

## 3. Arch Linux

![arch linux](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/12/arch-linux.png)

BTW, [Arch Linux](https://archlinux.org/?ref=itsfoss.com) is the most popular rolling release distribution. It’s almost a synonym with rolling release.

There are plenty of [reasons why Arch Linux has ](https://itsfoss.com/why-arch-linux/)a cult status among Linux users. I think it’s more to do with the sense of achievement one feels after [installing Arch Linux](https://itsfoss.com/install-arch-linux/) because even the installation procedure is not like other distros.

Arch has a good bunch of software available officially in its repositories. And then [Arch User Repository (AUR)](https://itsfoss.com/aur-arch-linux/) makes almost any other Linux software available through the community effort.

This is a good choice if you are a bit experienced with Linux and want to challenge yourself to the next level.

## 4. Manjaro Linux

![manjaro linux](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/12/manjaro-linux.png)

[Manjaro](https://manjaro.org/?ref=itsfoss.com) is basically Arch, minus all the hassle that comes with Arch Linux.

It is based on Arch Linux, so it gets most of the positives of Arch Linux. You get Pacman and AUR with a rolling release model. And at the same time, Manjaro has a graphical installer, a GUI-based package manager and other graphical tools to improve your desktop experience.

Manjaro is easier to install, easier to use. A good choice for those who want to stay in the Arch domain comfortably.

![](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/04/what-is-aur.png)

## 5. Solus Linux

![solus linux](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/12/solus-linux.png)

Like Manjaro, [Solus](https://getsol.us/home/?ref=itsfoss.com) is also a ‘careful’ rolling release distro. Unlike Manjaro, it is not based on Arch. It’s created from scratch and uses an [eopkg package manager](https://itsfoss.com/eopkg-commands/). Solus is credited for the creation of the modern and intuitive Budgie desktop environment.

Like other rolling release distros, once you have installed Solus, you don’t need to upgrade to the next version release (which is like ISO refresh to have newer updates for fresh installation).

The slight lack of packages can be compensated with Snap applications.

Solus is a good choice if you want something different but not complicated enough to make you uncomfortable.

## 6. Debian Testing

![debian testing](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/12/debian-testing.png)

You did not expect this, did you? Debian is known for its focus on stability, so much that stability sometimes equals stale, as the software versions it provides are old.

But that’s for the stable branch. Debian has several branches and one of them is called Testing.

It may seem like Testing is some sort of beta, unstable version, but that’s not entirely true. [Debian Testing](https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting?ref=itsfoss.com) is the next Debian stable version. The actual development branch is the Debian Unstable (also known as Sid). Debian Testing lies somewhere in between the unstable and stable branch, where it gets the new features before the stable release.

Some people configure Debian with ‘testing’ in the sources list. That makes their Debian system stay on testing forever. This is a sort of rolling release model that Debian user can enjoy without having to leave the comfort of APT and the deb package management system.

## 7. Void Linux

![void linux](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/07/void-linux.png)

An unusual and not-so-known distribution. [Void](https://voidlinux.org/?ref=itsfoss.com) is also one of the [distros created from scratch](https://itsfoss.com/independent-linux-distros/), i.e., it’s not based on Arch, Red Hat or Debian.

It is rolling release but not bleeding edge like Arch. It gives preference to stability. This means that you don’t need to upgrade versions when a new one releases, but you don’t get the latest desktop environment version as soon as it is released.

Another thing that separates it from other distributions is the use of [runit](http://smarden.org/runit/?ref=itsfoss.com) as init system.

Altogether, Void is a good choice if you are an experienced Linux user.

![](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/08/independent-linux-distros.png)

## 8. Gentoo Linux

![gentoo linux](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/07/gentoo-linux.png)

Another one of those [expert Linux distributions](https://itsfoss.com/advanced-linux-distros/) your peers warned about.

[Gentoo](https://www.gentoo.org/?ref=itsfoss.com) is not everyone’s cup of tea or coffee (whichever you prefer). Everything from the installation to configuration to package management requires some sort of expertise and time.

But it has a niche user base of experts whose neck beard touch their toes while they compile everything under the sun (*no discrimination, just traditionally picturing an expert!*)

Gentoo could be the distro of your choice if you feel like every other distro is not challenging enough.

[many other good distributions based on Arch Linux](https://itsfoss.com/arch-based-linux-distros/)that I could not include in this list, like EndeavourOS. If you'd like, you may explore more options from the list below.

## What’s your recommendation for rolling release distro?

As I mentioned earlier, I have deliberately left out other Arch-based distributions here; otherwise the list would have been filled with Arch derivatives only.

But you are free to pitch in your recommendation, even if it is based on Arch. The comment section is all yours.
