Wait, I never knew Fedora was a rolling release...I only ever knew it as
the 6 month then I need to do an upgrade to a whole new system one.
So can I in theory, get the Mate spin, and turn it into a rolling
release? I'm curious how well that'd work compared to Solus being a
rolling release as well with Mate support though

this would be my answer ... just my opinion, but taken from a
primarily technical perspective.
RPM packaging format, a plugin-based modular package management tool
along with graphical package management, the copr system including
semiautomatic serverside builds, the choice of a release cycle or a
rolling release model, snapd and flatpak installable from official
repositories or installed by default, not a derivative distro, far
more software applications available from all of system repositories,
third-party repositories that can be added easily, snapd, flatpak and
copr repositories, all the newest software versions with support for
the latest compilers, toolchains and system libraries, no need to hold
back new upstream software because a toolchain or compiler is out of
date, broad and diverse community support, systemd, which I happen to
like, and Pipewire and Wireplumber installed by default, although
these do still have their bugs. I'm sure there's more I'm not
mentioning, but these are the best parts of Fedora overall. Many
distros, especially derivatives, just can't keep up with the latest
upstream compilers and such ... from what I've been reading, even Arch
has some trouble with this. Maybe some of these things can cause
potential breakage of older software, but this is why Fedora does have
the choice between the 6-month release cycle for its stability and the
rolling release model that is especially good for those of us who like
to live on the bleeding edge.
