From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nix isn't rolling release
The unstable version is but NixOS can still be ruled out as it's not debian-based
Unstable is and from what I've heard, nixpkgs even is one of the fastest repos with updating packages (also the largest). But I still wouldn't recommend it for OP.
