Over the past 10+ years on and off I've used Linux on the desktop, mainly Ubuntu (started with 7.10), but also Arch, Fedora, Debian, CentOS, openSUSE and aside from Arch (for obvious reasons) I have got on pretty well with all of them, with very minimal tinkering. I've basically found that newer versions of Debian, Fedora and Ubuntu have had less issues. I guess I've been lucky with the hardware I've had, granted I haven't owned many setups in that time frame.
