Interesting thread but why no mention of Kubuntu? I have been a Kubuntu user since Dapper Drake and I have installed the Gnome at various times but never taken to Ubuntu on look or feel. I have just bought a new laptop and partitioned it leaving Windows 7 on one side and put Kubuntu Oneric on the other, but I never use the Windows partition as I have found everything works straight out of the box even the Webcam. I have never ventured away from Kubuntu as I have never needed to, my family have never been given the option but they also haven't complained. AutoCAD is the only programme I keep windows for and after using 2012 on Win 7,(obese software on an obese OS) I am busy learning QCAD. While I am not sectarian about KDE, Kubuntu or even Linux they have proved themselves to me (and family of women) as good if not better than the alternatives. I am open to a better flavour of Linux though.
