I wholeheartedly agree. I run Debian mainly, but I recently decided to 
give it a go on a new laptop. I "wasted" a lot of time, over a few weeks 
elapsed, getting the wireless nic, modem, SATA controller, Nvidia card, 
and so on to work properly. On the other hand, everything worked first 
time after the Ubuntu install.

So, for me, it's Debian everywhere, except on laptops, where Ubuntu is 
king. I'd be tempted to use Ubuntu on future desktop installs were it 
not for the worrying trend alluded to in this thread.
