This list sucks. On the other hand, I've been running Ubuntu 11.10 on my notebook for almost 24 hours now and it is pretty nice. I think the biggest improvement is Unity. Unity sucked in 11.04. But now it feels right. It's got the smart ideas from Gnome3 while leaving behind the holier-than-thou stuff (i.e. the removal of the minimize button). I will say that Unity in 11.10 has a number of bugs. None of them show-stoppers but it's crashed on me a few times -- but it automatically restarts so it's not a big problem. A few minor hardware issues specific to my Lenovo notebook also seem to have been resolved by default. I agree with a couple posters that Ubuntu seems to be trying to copy a lot of OS X and bring it to the PC. They are at least doing a half decent job.
