alt Hacker NewsThe weird thing is that Ubuntu manages to sit in some unholy local minima.
Debian rock stable, changes slowly and carefully.
Fedora rock stable, changes rapidly and constantly.
Ubuntu is just painful.
Note: this is on the desktop, I just use Debian on the server as the host OS - some habits are hard to break.
Consider checking out Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE). Best of two worlds - stable foundation of Debian, easy-to-use interface of Mint. I have been using it for about 2 years now, very happy with it.
