[OT] Good or best Linux distro?

[Chris]

At work we use Ubuntu, however, I'm not at all happy with it and 
don't want to use it on my private computer. Which is the best 
alternative (I've been looking at OpenSUSE; Mint is based on 
Ubuntu/Debian but only shares the repository with Ubuntu 
(right?); Fedora has bad reviews at the moment and might be a 
pain to set up (drivers etc.)). I'm also considering FreeBSD, a 
completely different beast.
