> when I see people using Ubuntu, I always wondered why? As someone (still) using Ubuntu today, I have 1 simple answer: OOB experience. Back in the days, I could insert a Ubuntu live-CD (remember CDs?), and have a fully working system, including proprietary graphics-driver and wifi-firmware. And installing from that Live-CD gave me the same experience once installed. Basically, it was a machine 100% ready to use, with everything autodetected, with absolutely zero manual effort. Debian otoh required me to hook up a wired network connection (because those had free drivers), and then manually track down which packages contained the proprietary drivers and firmware I needed. That single thing made a world of difference to me back then, and it still does today.
