I second this. Crunchbang has been the bomb!

I still like Ubuntu as a base (all the things I loved about Debian
with a little bit more to make life easier).
I am not a fan of Unity or Gnome 3.
These days I flip back and forth between KDE and XFCE on top of
Ubuntu 13.04. As always GPU drivers remain problematic (I am back to
nVidia with proprietary drivers on my desktop). The open source
radeon drivers seem to be getting worse. Intel iGPUs are still my
favorite under Linux.

If you are asking an opinion pole, I think some sort of Ubunto would
tend to win? I personally like Debian Stable 7.1.0 on my
machines, and
use Virtualbox om my workstation for trying out Debian Testing

distributions. Also I use Virtualbox to try some new programs
that still
have problems running on Stable.
That being said, I have had little time lately for trying out
many new
or novel distributions.
The reason I like Debian is because it has a way of looking after
itself, especially if you can stick to the "Debian Way".
The eclectic magic that shows up at CLUG meetings is the rich and
varied
opinions we all bring to it.

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
