I know we've all heard the question many times, but it has been a while since I have changed distros and am looking for opinions on what distro's are working well for people.

I'm about to rebuild my laptop with a new (larger) SSD. The laptop is currently running Ubuntu with the KDE desktop, and has some problems with my hardware. (occasional graphics glitches, sound issues, external video issues, etc.) The laptop has become a primary workstation for me, rather than an occasional use box like it was in the past. So these issues are becoming frustrating. I think it is time to try another distro. Something that works well for PHP based web development, and still supports daily desktop use well.

Other than Debian, what are other decent options at the moment? I might try out Fedora/Red Hat, but Arch looks interesting, as do some others.

I can easily do the trial and error thing, but I'm wondering what others are using these days (other than Ubuntu), and why.

Thanks for any input.

Shawn
