Also to add. Fedora has a 6 month release cycle for versions and a version is supported for about 13 months I think.
But during this time they regularly update packages. My kernel is always the latest version.
But I trust it because Fedora has a massive testing automated update and testing system. Every package is thoroughly tested for regressions and other things.
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/ to look for yourself.
It is also integrated into their bug and other systems so it's a very well oiled machine.
It's been rock solid stable for me and I've been running it since 35. And upgrades are super easy.
There is also COPR which is their AUR/PPA hybrid system that lets them provide a way for users to setup their own repos but build using Fedoras learnings and systems. It's pretty cool.
