In fact for the desktop I think Ubuntu would be the better choice. they are more desktop oriented and that is the market the project is aiming for. Sure they have other side things for server and devices but Desktop is their primary audience. I'm not an Ubuntu fanboy or anything but I do like the distro and think that it is one of the better distros for desktop users out there. I haven't found a reason to switch yet and I used to love distro hopping. I really don't understand where that statement is coming from. Considering the size of the community you would think that it would be a good thing but sometimes these short little quips seem like envious rants to me. Oh well.
