For me it was the opposite. I had Ubuntu installed and wanted to do a upgrade to the next release, took around 2 hours “settings things up” where I just said fuck it and force closed it.
My experience with big release distros was like that. I rarely had an upgrade complete without issue. Rolling release has been good to me so far. Granted, this was 10 years ago and things gave probably gotten better since.
I like EndeavourOS (Arch based) and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (or Gecko Linux). But if you prefer sticking with apt based distro Debian Sid is a rolling release.
I used Manjaro in 2015 for about a year before switching to Arch and sticking with that for a long time. Recently I tried EndeavorOS for a few months, then I switched to Void just to try it.
I think so, but from what I hear it is pretty stable, enough to use. I’d keep backups of important files, but I do that anyway. I use the Branched release myself, but an aquaintance of mine uses rawhide.

Which distro with rolling release do you prefer?

Check out Linux Mint Debian Edition, if it still exists. It was also rolling release.

I can solidly recommend either Arch or Void.
Fedora is cool, I also want to try SUSE and endeavor though so I can’t speak on those yet.
Does fedora have a rolling version?

I think this counts but tbh I could be misunderstanding something.
I forgot about rawhide. But it’s not really intended for the general public, similar to debian testing, isn’t it?

Never had an issue with Debian upgrades
