There are rolling updates on a daily basis, picking up security fixes and enhancements from upstream packages. Twice a year (nominally in April and October) there is a "Major version upgrade", where everything has been rebuilt and tested together. The rolling daily upgrade streams are incremental to a major version, but stop when that release is about 14 months old. My Fedora systems run "dnf update" every night, and get rebooted every 2-3 weeks to pick up kernel patches and clean out accumulated dirt. I do the "dnf version-upgrade" about a month after the new release comes out, but my "production systemes" usually stay one release behind. Thus, my "play" systems are now running F41, while my "serious" systems are still on F40. I find that Fedora is more stable for me than Windoes. I also have a Fedora in a WSL virtual machine on my Windows 10 desktop. I recently had a KDE application (digikam) fail in GUI initialization after a "patch" update in KDE runtime (kf6-...) but that was only in the WSL instance, and was fixed when the next round of kf6 libraries appeared. I run the basic Fedora Workstation (or in one instance Fedora Server) but often add Xfce as an alternative desktop manager. I despise all the personalized distributions. I wish someone would bundle all the desktop customizations an an optional module in the main Fedora stream, so one could just install the bundle and then say "customize-desktop windows10-like". Fragmentation of distributions is bad.
