Do not use Ubuntu!
They're trying to get the "GNU/Linux == Ubuntu" into the heads of our kids.
And unfortunately they're doing this amazingly well marketing-wise.
I know a bunch of people new to Ubuntu (and Linux) who don't know/see that Ubuntu is "just" another distribution.
That will get worse since Valve has chosen Ubuntu as the tier-one distribution. :/Last edited by entropy; 18 December 2012, 09:05 AM.

It does some things very easy which helps new users, indeed. The installation process for instance.

For example their kernel patches for async isapnp and async initrd extraction. Both have been shipping in Ubuntu for several years now, and have been submitted upstream exactly zero times that I know of. Especially the latter would be widely useful.
