well it is just a theme though. and themes are a matter of taste. i am
not sure if that is a good argument for the topic "best for power
users, gamers, newbies".
from my pov a real power user doesent waste resources on wallpapers.
but oh well.

Different target audience and release cycle. Personally i find it
quite neat that the debian guys dont do compomises on things like
trademarks.

errm... no comment, btw the debian repositorys still hold alot more
content. a few years ago linux power users still cared about freedom.

dont get me wrong... i am a long time redhat/fedora user, but i just
dont see any really good arguments in the article above... why a power
user, gamer or newbie would want to choose fedora instead debian (the
headline claims "best linux distro" but in the end it seems to be a
fedora vs debian thingie)
