Best Linux OS for desktop use?

[WelltodoInformalCattle]

Hmmm you guys are giving me ideas. I'm curious, what do you all think of Fedora? I've used it before but got fed up with some of the glitches I experienced so I went back to Debian.

Debian and Gentoo here.

Honestly, if you're looking for a new experience and are comfortable with a linux environment already, Gentoo would be a good path to take.  I will warn you though - once you get past the stigmas and get a feel for just _HOW_ customizable everything is, it can get rather addictive

Same here. You can not go wrong with the both.

 

To work with Gentoo might be a frustrating one at first (or is it just me) but you'll not regret it when you see the end-results and the overall 'awesome-ness' of it. — Needless to say about Debian. It's awesome out-of-the-box.

 

As for which desktop environments to go for. Well, it's up to the individual really. *cough* anything_besides_kde *cough*
