My thought as well. I've used Mint Mate (Mate being the Gnome 2 fork) for the last few years on Ubuntu certified laptops (Lenovo 4xxs) and have not had any issues. My complaint about the linux desktop experience is the amount of research necessary. If you are careful to purchase hardware that is well supported, everything will go swimmingly. This isn't really different with other OSs, but that information seems a little more difficult to discover (especially with bleeding edge hardware).

(Beware of the Dell's though...their last iteration of the XPS 13 had a rough start since many of their drivers were patched for kernel 3.19 and they shipped with 14.04 (kernel 3.13) Should be more stable now, but I was right mad when I got my XPS 13 and the touchpad, keyboard, AND WiFi were all bugged out of the box.)
