At work we use Ubuntu, however, I'm not at all happy with it and don't want to use it on my private computer. Which is the best alternative (I've been looking at OpenSUSE; Mint is based on Ubuntu/Debian but only shares the repository with Ubuntu (right?); Fedora has bad reviews at the moment and might be a pain to set up (drivers etc.)). I'm also considering FreeBSD, a completely different beast.
I use Fedora since the first beta release. There will always be people who do not like this and that... :) openSuSE, Fedora, ArchLinux, Mint, Mageia (etc) are all good distros - pure matter of taste I would say. Try few distros and see which one you like the most. That is my advice. Do not read reviews, because they are in 90% subjective.
