I used Lubuntu. I tried many other distros, probably several you never heard of, but Lubuntu was consistently the most tolerable. I'm pretty much Windows-only at this point. It definitely has its flaws, and it is definitely getting worse as the new "lets make everything suck as bad as the web" culture takes hold, but I still find that it works with me much more often than against me which is more than I can say for the way Linux desktops work.
