Start with a file system that doesn't suck, like ext4, bless the drive with a boot loader that doesn't suck, like Grub, and then get yourself a kernel that doesn't suck, like GNU/Linux, then get yourself a software stack that doesn't suck, like Arch.
I use Arch, BTW.
OP asked "how can I accomplish goal X?"

They can avoid needing to repeatedly reinstall the OS by selecting a more stable OS.
Arch is not a more stable OS.
No, not Arch. But maybe Mint.
Yeah, I would second the Mint rec.
