I'm not the OP, but have spent a few months with Ubuntu:

ain/ 

Overall I was impressed, and it was fun, but media support was the core
issue for me. Basically (and seriously not wanting to start any flame
wars - I'm a real *nix fan) it sucked.

Mac absolutely shines at this and adds a nice stable UNIX OS as well.

I am confident that desktop Linux and Ubuntu will continue to get better
and better and in time these issues (I'm aware of the licensing aspects)
will be soundly addressed
