I used Slackware, Gentoo and Arch for ten years but in the end I'm on Ubuntu.

I used Slackware, Gentoo and Arch for ten years but in the end I'm on Ubuntu. I liked feeling in control on those systems and it was great to have everything available immediately on Portage or AUR, but after a while I just got tired of having to read a wiki page for doing something as simple as setting up Bluetooth and ending up with a less convenient end result. I find there's almost always a PPA for an obscure package I need, so I found Ubuntu pretty convenient for actually getting stuff done.
