I have always ended back up on Ubuntu (or Arch). Gnome just feels more intuitive, everything pretty much does what I would expect it to do. Also integrated package managers are a pretty killer feature that all Linux distros come with these days. Recently on my work machine I switched to XMonad and my productivity has seriously gone up thanks to it.

Could you elaborate more on your choice of XMonad? Was it just the first best tiling WM you chose or have you done some research?

I'm currently looking for "my" tiling WM and am overwhelmed by the amount of available tiling WMs. Awesome-WM vs XMonad?
