Yes, I run both Arch and Ubuntu. I like Arch, but Ubuntu is still my main distro.

I personally am starting to like Unity, at least the new version in 12.04. If you install MyUnity it makes it even better because all the customization tweaks are built in to it and are easier to access and understand. My question is are there any Slackware, Arch, or Gentoo users out there? I have always loved those distros and still use them daily (Ubuntu as well). BUT, I never meet any one local that uses those other distros besides myself. I do hear a lot of people whine about them being to hard though.

I have been hopping around since unity, and currently run xubuntu on one box and fedora on another. I am liking gnome-shell on fedora, but have been thinking of trying kde again on opensuse. I ran Arch for 3 or 4 months or so a few years back, but the updates required too much attention. I really liked the design and the AUR is awesome, and there's no better documented distribution in my opinion.

As far as Fedora goes, I've never been a big fan of RPM based distros. I'd rather install from source than use an RPM style installer. OpenSuse? Even Linus Torvalds hates that distro. OpenSuse hasn't been an option for me since Novell signed their first license agreement with Microsoft and now Attachmate owns it and has continued with those license agreements. AUR is awesome though, and the Arch documentation is great. As far as the updates you can always write a script and a cron job and get the updates automatically without a user present. Good luck with OpenSuse! On Wed, 7 Mar 2012, Krasnow, Joshua wrote: > > I used kubuntu for the 11.04 release, but it was buggy.
