PC-BSD is my choice. But if I had to pick a Linux it would be Debian or Arch.

and how is that the best desktop distribution? this poll isn't about your preference but about an objectively quantifiably best distribution for a desktop user. and this is hands down ubuntu. you or i may not like it, but:
  • most software is packaged for what? (including commercial software)
  • most help on the interwebs is for what?
  • best out of the box hardware support?
  • easiest to use package management (PPAs, ubuntu software centre)
  • etc
this really isn't a question where other options come even close (and no, i'm not an ubuntu fanboi, i've been a debian user for the last 13 years.)
