@kaitaki Arch or Manjaro probably the most up to date but definitely blow up regularly, Ubuntu slightly less so but does have quarterly releases so you can stay reasonably current, still blows up but much less frequently than arch, debian even more conservative, less current but very stable. I would personally recommend staying away from Redhat, they got a bad case of lets fuck existing protocols and invent our own.

@katt @kaitaki As an example, the last time I tested, x2goserver did not work. And I never go six months between updates. And more often than not it's things in the AUR that are problematic.
Also, if I build a kernel from mainstream kernel.org, I have to install totally by hand, install the kernel, install the modules, make the ramintfs, update grub, where as with redhat derivatives I can use make rpmbin-pkg or debian derivatives make debbin-pgk. and then use rpm or dpkg to install. It definitely takes more effort to keep up than other distros but you can keep right on the bleeding edge if you like.
