Any Linux distro suggestions?

I've been through a couple:

 

Mint.... it's green and too windows like for me. Broke it.

Ubuntu Gnome.... buggy as hell. Broke itself.

Kubuntu... VERY pretty (better then that Elementary potato distro :P ). Broke it.

Xubuntu... was my favourite. Nice, lightwieght...and then I broke it

 

And after all of that I decided, hey, why not get a distro that is solid and won't cause me grieve:

 

Ubuntu

 

First thing you do after installation is get rid of all the pink and scale down the size of side bar. With every other Ubuntu derivative there was always something wrong and it never worked 100% like I wanted to. Ubuntu just worked.

 

You can also look into Fedora but if you're a regular end user, why bother?

Thanks.

 

I tried Ubuntu many many years ago....was not impressed. Might give them a go again. Remebered struggling with dial up internet and drivers at that time.

 

I also always break it and then don't bother further to try and fix it.

 

Busy downloading Fedora on a stick to try out, really going slow.

 

Will also try CentOS tonight, bootable from DVD ISO.

CentOS is more for servers than your regular end user machine.

 

Fedora is great (better than Ubuntu, depending on who you ask) but it feels like you have better support and a bigger community behind Ubuntu.

 

Either way, it's better than Windows
