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.
It is always a good idea to list specific requirements first :P For example:
- how comfortable you are with console tinkering? - what is your preferred Deskop Environment / Windows Manager? - do you need most recent versions for some software? - is having good out of the box support for D important? ;) etc.
