Why the rolling release?

It's where Cuis evolves, with new features, bug fixes and package updates. Stable releases only receive fixes for serious bugs, while packages keep moving forward with the rolling release, so using a stable release means knowing which version of each package matches it. That fits experienced users with specific needs, such as projects already built on one that don't need to follow ongoing development. Just starting? The rolling release is the way to go.

Cloned with Git? You only got the latest commit. Run git fetch --unshallow in the Cuis folder to get the full history.

Cuis doesn’t touch anything else on your system. Want to remove it? Just delete the Cuis folder. That’s all.
