[Comparison] Choosing between Ubuntu and Debian - Isaac - 09-24-2014
If you're new to Linux, chances are that you've probably heard of Debian and Ubuntu, which are two of the most suitable Linux distros for beginners. If you're looking into installing a Linux Distro on your PC, this thread should then help you in choosing between Ubuntu or Debian for your first Linux Distro.

You can also look into OpenSuse if you don't like Ubuntu or Debian. You'll have to research that on your own though.

Or the hundreds of other distributions out there...
Ubuntu is ok if you are brand new to linux but once you get to grips with the basics most people install something else

Of course there are hundreds of distros out there. The reason why I specifically mentioned OpenSuse is due to it being as simple and user friendly as Ubuntu and Debian.
I personally tried Ubuntu a while back and I personally didn't like it. There's no multi-finger support for mousepads on Ubuntu, Brightness changes back to default no matter how many times I change it to my liking etc.. There's quite a lot more to mention but I don't want to make this too lengthy.

Which can be turned off, so stop using it as an excuse.
