What would you say is the most reliable, "it just works" distro currently? (sh.itjust.works)

Obviously this is somewhat subjective, but I've had a lot of problems in my previous attempts to switch to Linux, so I'd like to create a list of distros to try out, and see what works for me. I'm mostly expecting to be doing basic office work and light gaming via Steam.

Debian (stable) is my vote for reliability. Always has been. The only time Debian might not "just work" is when you have VERY new hardware (new on the market) and need the absolute newest kernel version to have the necessary drivers. In such cases, look at Fedora, Mint or Kubuntu.
