While a release is not EOL it tends to stay fairly well synchronized to

kernel.

If a user were to take present state of Rawhide, but not update risky
packages, would there be any benefit to that ? Meaning to manually
update, skipping some packages.
Are some Desktop Environments in Fedora more stable ?

Today, I downloaded the very latest development version of Chromium as an
appimage, and tried unsuccessfully to run it.
Is that feasible ?
My understanding is that if the app is marked executable, then you just
