After almost 10 years using ubuntu for vps servers, I’m tired of update them every two years. I would prefer a rolling release distribution, but i don’t have time to select one and make the switch :/
Isn't it worth the balance between stability and effort to go with LTS (long term support / security updates only)?
You know the updates on LTS will be relatively much safer. The limit of potential breaking updates to every 2 years is mostly the point. But if you're just talking about a home lab where you want to use the latest advances without the latest exploits, try a dependency cooldown. Simon Willison recently pointed out this post by William Woodruff about dependency cooldowns [0]. Wait a day between update release and adoption to identify supply chain compromises.
In other words: Don't move fast. Don't break things.
