Re: Forget about Ubuntu, use another distro if you're into Linux
I did consider it, however Ubuntu, along with its bastard child Mint, is one of the dominant distros, so most instructions and packages on the interwebs for Linux software are written for Ubuntu (and quite often Fedora). Ubuntu also holds your hand a lot. Need samba file sharing? Easy. I have not had such an experience with other distros such as Fedora.
Mint is a good alternative if you like more Windows like desktop environments and safer, but less cutting edge, update cycles.
