I'd recommend Slackware, OpenSuSE, or Linux Mint. Slackware because it really just works perfectly. I mean seriously, it's very stable! I'm using it. OpenSuSE, because they have been there for a very long time and still offer great support for newcomers and make hardware support easy. Linux Mint, because it offers even better hardware support, but comes at the cost of stability. Heck it's at least dead easy. A zombie could install it. If you've no problem with headache go Gentoo/Arch. Not sure if the work you invest is worth it, except you do it to just learn.

While I do enjoy project computers like I do enjoy project cars, my main laptop needs to be a "daily commuter" vehicle: it can't be taxing to drive and it can't be taxing to maintain. I need to have it working in order to do work. What are your recommendations for that?
