That's sort of my case, and given how I don't have much use for Bluetooth, I went with OpenBSD for the desktop. Couldn't be happier - it just works!
If I'm not in a mood to mess around with it, I don't have to: it gives me a nimble computation environment and steady upgrades. If I want to mess around, `cd /usr/src` and it's right there, ready to play.
