What's an arch based distro that updates slower? The frequent updates of the main repository are a bit too fast for my taste. I like the rolling release system so want to keep that.

- 1Doesn't lts only apply to the kernel and modules? What about the user space packages (gnome, vim, gcc, gawk, grep, libc etc..)sashang– sashang2015-06-17 08:58:41 +00:00Commented Jun 17, 2015 at 8:58
- 2So you don't want a rolling release then? The definition of rolling release is to update each component as soon as it's available.Gilles 'SO- stop being evil'– Gilles 'SO- stop being evil'2015-06-17 14:44:15 +00:00Commented Jun 17, 2015 at 14:44

If it's a rolling-release that's not so bleeding-edge you're after, take a good look at Tumbleweed from OpenSuse.
Arch is generally intended to be a pure upstream system, and as such is pretty bleeding-edge. Antegros and Manjaro are Arch based systems that can lag a week or so behind, but that's probably not what you're after.
