I made the jump to Linux in the last 5 years. Confused by the myriad of distributions I downloaded a few of the more popular ones and ran them in Virtualbox.
Ubuntu was noticeably faster and more stable so I chose Ubuntu. It turns out that what I was really seeing was Ubuntu was faster and more stable in Virtualbox and since that is the only way I can get Linux on my work desktop this is important to me.
I'm sure many people use Linux this way, so this will continue to be important.
Maybe Debian would be OK now, but Gnome 3 takes up far too much of the screen on my laptop with menu bars, and this is why I am sticking with Unity for now
