Ubuntu has all of those things that you listed and more. So it doesn't have THE easiest installation process, big deal. Its meant for windows users that know enough to keep windows running, if you know how to format a drive and press a couple of options, you can install Ubuntu. Update is automatically carried out, usally once a week I get a button on my gnome taskbar that says "5 updates, please click to see what is being upgraded" or something upon the lines of that. If linus decides to release a new kernal...Ubuntu automatically does what it has to do and gets you running on the newest version. Simple. Synaptic is quite possibly the easiest way to install software, they have pretty much anything, and with a simple addition of "repositories" the amount of software that can be installed and AUTOMATICALLY configured is simple a staggering number. Installing kde or gnome to begin with is a sinch, if you want gnome you go with the regular ubuntu cd, if you want to start with KDE you use Kubuntu, and of course you can switch after 5 years to the other by using synaptic. Ive been using ubuntu since it was a beta, and Ive never installed ANY anti-virus or whatever on it, and Ive YET to have a virus, the worse I got was a trojan that just failed to work (but I actually downloaded it) If you can't configure it, use google or ubuntuforums.com, your problem is either common or has a simple fix. All software that Ive EVER used ubuntu on has instantly worked. I installed it recently on a new hp laptop with wireless Bg card that didnt work with slax, suse, or redhat. I wanted to try something different, but I just stuck with Ubuntu. The reason I write this is that Im just offering the flip side of the argument. I may be an ubuntu whore, but hey...Im happy with it. You seriously didn’t give enought time to Ubuntu. Ubuntu has all of those things that you listed and more.
