Which is best rolling release distribution with all codecs inside for 64 bit notebook, for newbies?

 

What that means is you install once, keep upgrading, never reinstall, maintain the newest versions of every Linux kernel and package available keeping your existing confs the same without the need for a 6 month release cycle.

Not all disto will come with all the codec packs, due to copyright laws. However most distro's do allow you to download/install codec packs separately via the supplied package manager.

 

As for updating most disto's dont require you to reinstall everything every 6months. Using your distro's package manager you can choose which updates to install. When a new release is available it will prompt you to upgrade, it will keep all your current settings.
