I had hard time installing chrome and skype. Skype is all messed up.Its in English but it shows everything with Greek characters and i cant fix it. The thing is that im a windows user since 2001 so im way more comfortable with it and i have way more knowledge about windows rather than Linux. I'm kinda new at the Linux world but im trying to get used to it and upgrade my knowledge base on Linux. Currently i have the xfc desktop.

Skype really sucks on Linux.
Also for chrome, make sure you're downloading the correct version. I tried installing the 64 bit version on my 32 bit install of mint and it wouldn't work, Tried the 32 bit and it worked perfect. If not get Chromium from the package manager. Its the same thing

If im going to use linux i will probably choose OpenSuse its very good distro with a lot of GUI configuration tools that lack on otheres.

OpenSuSE is awesome :).
I have a single usb drive that runs the following live:
Knoppix, OpenSuSE, Backtrack, Mageia, & Debian.
Also running UBCD on that usb drive. Needless to say, no matter the job, I can get it done.
No I don't work in IT or anything of the sort, I'm just a linux nerd.

Yeah, but they shouldn't be installed in the first place.
Also I really dislike the Unity desktop. Yeah you can change that too, but what's the point of installing Ubuntu and have to remove all the adware, and the desktop environment, when you can install a different distro like Mint and have neither adware nor Unity?

Ubuntu 12.10 GNOME Remix, but also Arch Linux, Fedora 18, and elementaryOS Luna.

Dual boot ubuntu and win 7, although I very rarely use ubuntu, I see no reason to do it.

3rd party content is mp3 support.
I've running Arch/Windows/OS X tri boot on my main workstation. I test deploy to ubuntu server and Arch via vagrant. On my Raspberry and ODROID-U2, I run debian (or debian based distros). Also got a laptop with elementary os Luna.
On server, Arch and Ubuntu Server.

I have tried many of them over the past decade, plus... I never can fully settle on one.
I like Mint probably the most right now. I have a laptop running it and it works great. It is a better version of Ubuntu, so I would have no problem always picking this over Ubuntu.
I ran through various Ubuntu variants, but didn't really care for any of them more than Mint. I did put some consideration into the lighter ones for an old 1ghz that I boosted up a bit. None of them were really that light. Not like they ran worse than the hacked up XP I was running on it, but still...
I used Red Hat a lot a decade and some change back, plus for years after. I just can't get myself to use Fedora full time now. I think it always sounds cooler than it is when I actually use it. I can see uses for it on my home computer, but I will stick with Mint over it.
I used Puppy and some variants for my old 1ghz. It actually ran great on the computer, which is almost 13 years old. I recommend one of the variants if you are looking for something small and optimized. I have shelved the computer for now. I was using it to download stuff.
I love the cutting edge Debian philosophy, but it is something I would only run on a server.
Mageia looks cool, but I haven't had the energy to bother with it. Taking it back to the old school, like Fedora. I might try it out of respect for Mandrake being decent back in the day. I suppose PCLinuxOS is on this list, took.
I haven't bothered with Arch, but it looks cool. I almost installed it, then got lazy.
OpenSuse and Gentoo are among those that I just don't have the interest in. I have pushed Slackware aside, at this point, as well.

I run Debian non-GUI for Linux servers,
But I run it for desktop on my old laptop as well with a GUI installed and half the time I have the GUI turned off.

If you're on Windows, I don't really care honestly.
Anyway if you're running a Linux based OS as a main OS or dual booted, which are you running?
I'm deciding between Mint and Fedora. Ubuntu is stupid, too much bloatware, and everything on it is ad based. Even installing the OS, it asks if you want to install 3rd party content...
