xolve··on OpenSUSE 13.1 Released
I moved from Kubuntu to openSuse. On big plus is easier administration and almost generic packages (except branding). openSuse's Yast is basically a neat GUI wrapper and it works fine even if when you change some config manually.

You need to add Pacman repo to install the goodies.

You can choose to remain with FLOSS software or install proprietary packages if you want.

Besides, a distro doesn't matter much, what matters is what you do on that.
