Ubuntu is good... for about a couple months. Eventually one realises that ubuntu violates several principles of oss, and then there was the anouncement that canonical was going to close the doors to community additions. Time to move away from that. Think of ubuntu as a very hot but ultimately toxic relationship.
Then I got hooked by fedora, magnificent distro, much less violations to oss philosophy, bleeding edge updates. Think of fedora as the relationship with whom you do crazy stuff, but eventually you want to settle down and be with someone more stable. Along came opensuse, so far, this is the best distro I've used, I use it in all my servers, it's stable, fun, secure, but also can do crazy bleeding edge stuff too (tumbleweed). Try it out, you won't regret.
