Depends on your hardware.

I have a Asus laptop here, that was bought with Linux support and Ubuntu had its share of issues with the wlan card.

To this day still doesn't take advantage of AMD GPU as it should.

Ubuntu have done really well with 'it just works'; it's the only distro that installs out of the box with the correct Broadcom driver for my Mac Mini. While I could of gone for Arch like I normally do, it was nice for a change to have an installer I can walk away from and let it do its thing and come back to a working machine.

Fedora is great out of the box. Unless you want to use something other than GNOME 3. Or play MP3s.
