Nope, not just you. I've tried Ubuntu a few times, but it's consistently been unstable (once requiring a complete wipe and reinstall when upgrading to a new version failed). Plus I hate Unity. Plus I don't like that they made your searched of your computer default to searching Amazon too. Bleh. I'll second what Devac said and recommend Debian. I installed it on Monday, and have been super happy with it. Am typing this post from there, in fact. Truth be told, I don't really like having to go back to using my Windows 7 desktop. Have had zero problems with drivers or dependencies so far, although haven't tried to do much gaming. I did install Steam, which worked fine once I figured out how to add a 32-bit environment to aptitude. But smuxi and irssi for IRC (depending on whether I need notifications or not) and Firefox handles 99% of my use cases. Side note: I'm on IRC right now, and will be for the next couple of hours if you have additional questions.
