I tried to avoid this discussion but I'm a little surprised that nobody mentioned Debian Testing. I've used it as a desktop for a decade or so and it had a great combination of very good stability (i.e. I can't recall it ever disappointed me) and still relatively up to date. But then again - it's been a while since I used it. These days I use Ubuntu LTS for servers and Mac for laptop, and for a few months around a year ago also Ubuntu LTS for a work laptop.
