I've tried all three of these distros. I decided against Fedora, but that was well over 10 years ago, so it's not relevant to modern releases. I think that if I were to start using Linux again, I'd go for Debian, but for casual use Ubuntu is close enough. > Ubuntu has a very effective upgrade process, too, but I think it > only applies from LTS version to next LTS. Not really the issue here: I just want to see if the problems I see also occur under Linux. I'd be happy to reinstall every time. > Debian - I run Debian Testing, so it's sort of like a rolling distro > to me.
