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.)
