Overall a Linux based platform can perform most of the tasks equally as well as a proprietary platform using the likes of Ubuntu and its derivative distros. However Linux does have its limitations with some applications and in particular gaming. For example I retain a dedicated Windows partition to run specific applications such as Office 2010 etc.

Ubuntu is now losing ground to other distros. such as Fedora and Linux Mint (Ubuntu based)
Fedora 15 being the first of the major distros. to feature the GNOME3 Desktop as default will no doubt have a negative effect on Ubuntu with Canonical opting for the less stable Unity Desktop

Furthermore the Linux Mint team have tamed Pure Debian to the extent that is almost as easy to install and use as its Standard Ubuntu based Edition. It would seem Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) is the way forward for the distro. but its not quite there yet. Wait until the respins of the ISO. are released and you will see what I mean. However I wouldn't recommend downloading the current ISO. as you will need to install numerous updates to get what is going to be somewhere close to the new release

Other lesser known distros. are showing good too such as Pardus Linux

For the moment I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 11. Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled

You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 11 then you need to create a Bootable LiveDVD for installation
