I’ve used various flavors of Linux for over 15 years. my favorite for years was Ubuntu because it was easy to install, easy to use, relatively well supported with third-party software. The default theme colors are ghastly. However, the abomination known as Unity made me go back to openSUSE. (Seriously, you want me to do a search for installed applications? Screw you, I want a frigging menu instead of trying to remember all those goofy names.)

OpenSUSE 12.3 with KDE is still usable and relatively easy to install. it has a nice, clean look and I can find installed software without searching for it.

And (hallelujah!) STEAM has started porting games to Linux!!!! I was playing Half Life last weekend without using Wine.
