This is the real reason why I've stayed with Ubuntu for many, many years. It was my first entry into Linux years ago and I've never had any reason to switch to another distro.

I also like that I can use the same OS on my servers as my desktop. It just makes server setup/maintenance simple for me, as I never have to "learn" a new way of thinking or flow of processes.

I've never had issues with Ubuntu, no crashes, no issues with drivers (even with nVidia graphics cards etc...). I recently purchased a dell XPS laptop which came with Ubuntu pre-installed. It was more as a vote for "yes Dell, this is a good thing" rather than "I can't be bothered installing ubuntu myself".
