I work on my dev server, CentOS 6.5. Last year I choose Ubuntu 10.04 on my old laptop (Intel Dualcore), but now I still can't decide best linux distro for my laptop, last time I try L/X/K/Ubuntu 13.04, but it make my laptop battery drain faster and really hot (AMD quadcore) and some of those distro can't work properly like has buggy in graphics, I already install the driver too.
