Ubuntu has been fairly solid for me, over several laptops and almost a decade of releases. Freezes due to graphics drivers (on Intel) is something from ~3-5 years ago, I'd say. And let's be realistic, when people are just trying GNU/Linux (for the first time), they will go for the most popular and user-friendly distro available. Or, at least, they should.
