Rolling Release vs Stable Release
Rolling Release distros will package updates for any software and send it out to be updated on your system as soon as they determine it is good to go.
Whereas a Stable Release distros will accumulate new versions of software, testing them all together before pushing all the updates together at once and a new "version" of the OS.
For desktop use Rolling Release is perfectly good and can be nice in the sense you don't have to wait for a new version of your OS to get the lastest update for your software. But stable release distros have the advatage of getting more time to test to catch and fix any weird problems a new update may have.
