Count me among those who have used Ubuntu and don't like it. Not that it matters.
One question (honest one). People keep saying that Ubuntu is the best distro for the average user, that it offers the best out of the box experience, that the next release will be awesome, etc. Now, my experience from using OpenSuse at work and Debian at home is that...they are the same freaking thing. Same apps, same behaviour, same look (if I cared to tweak it to be alike). I have a mirror copy of my working directory both at home and at work and I have installed the same tools; from that point of view, I could work from wherever I felt like, probably the biggest difference I notice is the height and feel of the keyboard. So, my question is, what makes Ubuntu to be any better than the rest for you? I'm asking seriously, I just can't figure it out and personally agree with the hype theory, but I'd like to hear something more specific than "it's an OS for human beings", "it's easier to use", "best thing since sliced bread" and all that.
