Seriously, isn't Ubuntu basically the "winner" of the "desktop Linux distro" wars?

It's just so much better than anything else, mostly because of apt/Synaptic. Plus, it has momentum, so the repositories have lots of new/exotic packages that most other distros don't. And, even better, they keeep the distro as a whole very up-to-date.

I just can't think of a reason to use anything *but* Ubuntu on the desktop. Well, if you're talking about Linux destkops, anyway.
