If you have spent a reasonable amount of time with Ubuntu, try installing Debian and playing around with it. Sadly, you will probably notice how Ubuntu have unnecessarily broken things that are working fine in Debian. Core things.

Let me propose you give money to Debian instead.

Or just install Debian and see how stable it is. It's familiar enough and it will cure your upgrade fears.

I think "once every 6 months" is too often, I'd be happier if Ubuntu was released once per year but better tested.
