Well your mail client doesn't seem to be prefixing quotes with ">" (or 
indeed *anything*) so I honestly can't tell who said what.

I wouldn't say that any distro is necessarilly "less buggy" than another, 
just might have different bugs - they all patch the various packages 
(including the kernel) in their own way, have code that hasn't gone 
upstream yet (which may fix or introduce bugs), etc.

I think that trying various distributions is a fairly sensible approach, I 
have seen plenty of bugs that are present in one distro but not another. 
That doesn't mean you have to permanently switch distros - if it works in 
another distro you can look at the differences and port the fix across.
