I'm not like that. For that kind of user I've had more success with Ubuntu than anything else - it just works, it's got Ubuntu One file back up services and it's got a community pitched at the "user" level. >From a technical perspective there is plenty not to like about some areas of Ubuntu, and it lags Fedora on features and the like, but for end users who don't care about such detail it usually just works.
