In my experience the distributions with longer release cycles like RHEL are really stable and don't have as many issues like this or you experience them only during the initial setup and then run normally for years. I had a very good experience running a CentOS desktop for two years, even considering the initial hassle I had with sound, installing Skype and video-card drivers.
However I actually don't install them because I want the latest toys and so do most users. Honestly my desktop experience has decreased on both Windows and Linux in the past 10 years. Windows 10 also has begun to have the same stability issues for a lot of users - so rolling release seems to be the wrong approach for desktop users.

And they contain the particular library versions. So that allows you to have your base OS be something stable while still being able to use the latest version of a particular program.
