PC BDS for desktop?

I have been using arch for four years already, but its tendency to break down after the update (now the gnome has died) does not suit me, I need a system in which you can just work (web development) and not remember the system at all. I want to deliver once and yuzat before replacement of the screw.
So, I'm looking for alternatives. Nimble (ubunta is not nimble), reliable and such that you don’t fool around with it. What about PCBSD as a desktop axis? From programs to be a virtual machine, browsers, ftp, gim, photo processing tools like imagemagic and something with which you can create PDF and deja vu books, and the Apache web server. And that safety is up to the mark. And I also love installing software from centralized trusted repositories.
And, importantly, I really liked their archwikis in Arch, where there are all the instructions and the availability of an adequate support forum.

And what, there are nimble and non-nimble distributions? Still, probably, it depends on DE / WM and other goodies? I doubt that in the same environment you will notice the difference in different distributions. Archa has such a habit, of course, but not every time :) Yes, and it is not necessary to update every day. You already choose you checkers or go. You don't want to break sometimes, so choose a more stable distribution, although they all just break sometimes, there's nothing to be done. Arch has a lot of gtk-something in the latest update, but I don’t use a gnome, so I didn’t catch anything.

for "I don't want to think at all about the fact that I have an operating system and how it works. I want to work productively in it." disable updates, there is no other option and never will be on any OS, paid or free. There will always be software that will break with this or that update (not counting some simple software like notepad). And it usually helps to update a couple of months after the release of the update, when they finish small shoals in these updates ...

Install a lightweight LTS like Xubuntu or Lubuntu. If only to work - the very thing, without whistles but with comfort. You will live in peace for 5 years, and then either change the computer or the screw, and the next LTS will crawl.
I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 and it's enough for me. And I select the newest software without problems from PPA. Nothing has broken since the update.

How can you recommend a distribution? To each his own. I really liked OpenSUSE at one time and still on it and I don’t want to leave anywhere. there is everything you need and even “And I also love installing software from centralized trusted repositories.”, as well as XEN out of the box. But I'm just sure that you will find all this in other distributions.

Well, it's actually a gun. Do you understand that BSD is not suitable for the desktop at all? Recently, only KMS was added, there are problems with SMP in virtual machines, and you say that you want to forget about the problems.

install freebsd from scratch. pcbsd is the same eggs only in profile - a graphical installer and pre-installed programs.
