I had a bad experience with Fedora about a year ago. I seem to remember the package manager wanting me to pay someone so I could listen to MP3s. Yeah, no thanks. There were various other things, but that one sticks in my memory.<p>I still really like Ubuntu, but several versions ago (I think around Fiesty) I realized they were headed in a direction I didn't want to follow, and I discovered Gentoo. That's where I am and that's where I'm likely to stay, though for fun I do try out other distros from time to time.
