Stable is the way to go if you are in that boat. Testing/Unstable do break and
that is what makes it fun (atleast for me). If you want something rock solid,
something that just works without any hiccups you should seriously consider
running stable. For some users stable might have packages a bit out of date.
But if you do not have the time or the willingness to explore stuff on your
own, testing/unstable both are not for you.
