Your wording there 'massive probs' is disingenuous. What I said was simply "works better", I never said anything about major problems. In fact, I specifically said the other distro's can be made to work just as well, but it takes more effort. But to answer your question, I've found desktop performance to be better in Ubuntu for the same specs, many distro's don't play well with pause/unpause (it can cause time skew that messes with things like https certs), and things of that nature. Then of course there's the "easy install", although a few other distro's feature it as well. Nothing that doesn't have fixes, but as someone who is more interested in getting the work done than tinkering with the linux install, I just go with Ubuntu.
