I find NixOS is good for this - but it depends partly on what userspace programs you need.

You can run NixOS Stable, which is on a six-monthly release and testing schedule, and add the latest kernel, very easily.

+1. NixOS benefits especially, because a broken kernel/nvidia update never renders your system unusable. You can make changes to all your heart's desire, and if something does break, all you have to do is reboot and select previous configuration
