Andy,
    Welcome to the community...basically I think Ubuntu is like any 
distro except for it has the greatest community and release schedual out 
there. Two small things I have noticed, 1. People have issues with 
Nvidia cards (I did it now works) 2. And a few people have had issues 
with ACPI (I also did but figured it out). I used Windows for 17 years 
before this...had little quirks to get started and I've sworn I wont go 
back.
