How I fix Linux computers:
* replace Ubuntu/Debian/SuSE/RedHat/Mint with Gentoo (Arch works as well, but some packages pull in dependencies I'd like to avoid and I can opt out from with Gentoo USE flags)
* set USE flags to USE="-dbus -gconf -avahi -consolekit -policykit -pulseaudio -gnome -gnome3 -kde -kde4 -akonadi -gestreamer -phonon +ffmpeg +gtk +qt4"
* Compile system using those flags.
Note: The system I'm working on right now is based on a Gentoo installation I did back in 2003 and from there did rolling updates over the time, including a complete change in architecture (around 2007 I had a mixed 32/64 bit system running until everything was migrated). Installing a new non-server machine I usually start off a image that's a descendant of that installation from 2003. TL;DR: My Linux systems don't break (well ConsoleKit once did as did a few other Freedesktop.org monstrosities, but nothing a backup couldn't fix).
