I don't care if you run Linux or not, but for a home computer try a LTS distro, maybe Kubuntu , don't install third party PPAs and you should not get any problems updating. Using an LTS means that you are not getting the new shinny thing that you might see on the internet though. But if your current setup works painlessly for you then keep using that.
