I tried Ubuntu based on the recommendation of a friend.
I did not find it to be "blazing fast" nor "super-intuitive" and I am a computer user (Windows) and technical professional with 2 decades of experience.
In my opinion it was not "ready for prime time".
The most basic function of an OS is to recognize all the hardware and make it work efficiently together, followed closely by allowing the user to get productive work done instead of constant fiddling with settings or having to research how to get the most basic things done. I was spending way too much time looking up how to load tar files or find drivers. If the OS doesn't do those things itself, it's not truly production-ready IMHO.
