SparkyLinux is test based version of Debian GNU/Linux. The Testing version of Debian includes all packages (programs) that are not yet considered stable enough and still need testing.
This version is not intended for use on servers or anyone computer provides critical services. Nevertheless, there are many who use it because the programs it contains are more recent.
As is understood from the above, SparkyLinux is a rolling (distribution) distribution that contains all the latest software and kernel packages. As a rolling distribution, it does not need to be reinstalled as it will update itself. So if you do not show some instability from the wrong actions, usually new users will not need another installation, and will always be updated to the latest version.
The Polish project developers have recently announced the new version of SparkyLinux 4.5 "Tyche" released in LXDE, LXQt, KDE, MATE and Xfce flavors.
The new version comes with Linux kernel 4.8.7 as default while 4.8.12-sparky is already available in the Sparky 'unstable' repo. Added support for 'exfat' file systems and comes with updated applications: Firefox 45.5.0 ESR and Firefox 50.0.2 are available in the repos, Icedove 45.4 and Thunderbird 45.5.1 are available in the repos, along with LibreOffice 5.2.3-rc1.
