The main problem with Linux distributions, is that even in 2013, it 
won't work properly in laptops.

Wireless chipsets, battery use and graphic cards (specially hybrid like 
optimus) are still a problem.

Personally I only use Linux on servers, VMs, or laptops sold with Linux 
support.

As an example, last April, an Ubuntu update borked my wireless driver, 
because of religious FOSS. Ubuntu developers changed the binary broadcom 
driver, working flawlessly, for the open source one, which was still 
half done.

There is a discussion about it on their forums, if you want a link for it.

So nowadays I rather use systems for work, that value my up time.
