what do u wanna know
Ubuntu- great for entry level Linux user. You get Linux distro that's free and is a powerful distro. If you never used Linux this is a great starter.
Suse- for more advance users. Very powerful distro but to the last of my knowledge it will cost you to own it. If you want the free version then opensuse is were you go. Support is not as good as ubuntu
In my opinion every Linux distro has a strong point. So if you want get them both. There both great its the desktop enviroments that is the biggy. Without starting a KDE and Gnome war. Learn to use the both KDE is what a lot of windows user goto cause the Gui looks alot like windows. Gnome is different but each falls short of the other. Where Kde lacks gnome excels at and vice verse. Do your own research and make your decision but if your a noob to Linux I reccomend ubuntu cause they have a great community for support at your finger tips. U can purchase support also for ubuntu but your only paying for support not the distro.
Theres also many others out there. Some like gentoo are lite distro so when you use this one it comes with no drivers installed you your need to have all the linux drivers for your hardware basically the only drivers you'll have are the drivers you need to run yoour computer sorts like custom os.
Ubuntu is more main stream when it comes to distros also. Also it makes me happy the a billionare out there hates bill gates and has made os and doesn't make a dime of the distro
