This is exactly the reason I run arch. I have repaired loads of colleagues fedora installs that broke during dist-upgrade. And I the two times I tried to dist-upgrade old ubuntu installs went catastrophically wrong.

With arch I update every day or once a week and don't have to worry.

I have never once had a Fedora upgrade or Windows update break my machine.

I think the trick with Fedora is to know the release-schedule, give them about two weeks after the release to find and fix the worst bugs and then not wait too long to update. On my own workstation I also didn't have issues.
