Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, or SUSE? Which one is best?

Be as descriptive in your answer as possible. Thanks!
All opinions are welcome.
I guess what I mean to say is which one is the best operating system overall. I already have Ubuntu and love it.

You really need to be more specific in your question, however I will try and answer as best as I can.

Given the fact that you are asking which is best between ubuntu and debian insinuates that you are really not that familiar with linux. I personally have used all four and here is my experience.

debian: A bad choice for a newbie. Although out of preference it is the best of the four, you need to do a lot of tweaking to get your system the way you want it. That can be a strenuous task to the linux newcomer.

Suse: Although I enjoyed it I always found it too system consuming for my liking.

Fedora: A good choice and one of my favorites but maybe not so good for a beginner.

Ubuntu: this is the one I have used the most. It does have it's flaws but it is a very good mid-level ground for people to start learning linux with. It also offers the easiest way of using your pc.

Basically, I recommend you stay with Ubuntu.

ubuntu or fedora.
basically for me it boils down to rpm or debian as the two systems are very similar in everyway but package management.
i chose deb, because it just seems alot cleaner and faster
so also, ubuntu

I wish it was that easy! Just say which the ebst is, but it depends on personal preferences.

For instance I didn't really like Ubuntu since it required a lot of additional package installs before I could get my software to run.
Fedora on the other hand didn't neeed to many.in comparisson.


I just tried them out and checked which was the bes tover time.
