Windows is free for all intents and purposes. At least for most people. So it's about freedom for me.

My favourite distro is Debian. But I wish it had a workable rolling release. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is the closest distro to that ideal.

Debian Unstable is a workable rolling release in my opinion.
It's not as polished as Arch or Tumbleweed, so sometimes you'll tell it to update and it'll try to remove or install a bunch of stuff, or refuse to update a package.
In that case, just wait a day or 3 and try again.
