I've had OpenSuse Tumbleweed actually bork my laptop so I had to wipe & reload it... That's my only reserve about rolling distros.
Was it the rolling that did it?
Sadly, yes. One of the updated packages broke my video drivers (Nvidia Optimus / Bumblebee drivers) and they would recompile to fix it... The Last straw for me was the next update I ran a week or so later updated the Kernel and caused the video to flash incessantly unless I had an app on the screen that was using the NVIDIA GPU. It was odd...
I wiped and did a Mint 18 install after that, lol.
Edit: I do know the flashing video bug has been fixed.
