Well the solution here is to just use the superior distro, naturally.

This post will surely upset nobody.

is there a way to make it work like a rolling release of sorts? i'd want to use debian, but i don't want to stay with old packages and wait 2 years for an update

You could use debian testing. It's a somewhat "rolling-release" model. You will get more up to date packages with more stability too.

You could also use unstable, but I wouldn't recommend it personally.

Edit: if you really need the most up to date version of some packages, you can pin them to use the unstable repo. This would be a pretty reasonable solution.
