Hi,
I'm ubuntu only user for about 3 years now. In the beginning I tried all of the main distros. I sticked with ubuntu because it was only distro that has detected my wireless card back then. Since then I was using only ubuntu and I want to know what's the situation now. I read more and more about Fedora these days - driving innovation to Linux (plymouth, packagekit etc..). I was dissapointed with last two releases of Ubuntu(Hardy - mostly because of pulseaudio, Intrepid - didn't bring almost anything new just some bugs - intel wireless acts weird, video tearing etc..). I think with every release recently it's one step forward and two steps back, so I was thinking about making a switch to another distro. I'm thinking about Fedora(because of the innovation) and OpenSUSE(because of lot of upstream work being done in this distro). I know the best thing is to try the livecd, but I want to hear the opinions of long term users. What's better in ubuntu and what's worse? These days I don't have enough time to test all the distros :( I use my ubuntu machine as productive machine.
