I've used OS X for 2 1/2 years now, and can't remember anything breaking :/
Before that I used linux on the desktop for maybe 8 years, and things broke every week. (Redhat, mandrake, gentoo, ubuntu)
Well there's your problem :)
Try Debian stable, and let me know if it ever breaks. (Debian unstable definitely does break, but not very often, and it's usually easy to fix. It works for me.)
As I say, 2 1/2 years on OS X, and I don't miss linux on the desktop one bit.
