You are probably right. I will say however, :)
I'm mostly using Manjaro with openrc.
I did have a problem, however, with the fit/pc when I moved it to
opensuse. They senty it with an older
version of opensuse and I installed 12.3 which was the top of the line
at the time. The graphic card has
never worked right in the newer versions. The older versions it worked
fine. I don't know why and since
it is my server, I never really picked it apart. But there was
something about the intel graphics card was
problem.
Now, with the laptop, it will probably work just fine. The touch screen
ones, I wonder if there are Umbuntu
specific drivers for the gesters et al.
