   I would be interested in hearing how you find a rolling release.  One   
   comparison said that the major distros avoid them because it is too big a   
   task for the developers.  OpenSuSE is offering one, in the alternative.   
      
   My experience with the first two releases of OpenMandriva mirrors yours.   
   Every installation had a problem, which wasn't the same problem as on the   
   previous try.  According to their blog, they have switched from GNU make to   
   a thing called "clang."  I have never heard of it.  Cmake is good for cross-   
   platform, but has no uninstaller. MuseScore releases in a "portable" package   
   called AppImage, which runs from my home directory.
