Which distro for mine laptop?

As all know, little days ago the airone it has detached its flight and I must say with good result in terms of improvement of the total performances and a good stability of the system. Unfortunately on mine laptop verification that such problem already documented in post precedence, than up to the present is not successful to resolve; reason for which they are returned to “gibbone”. However, being the undersigned “smanettone” for necessity and a vocation, I do not succeed in desistere trying the “new one”, therefore a dilemma is placed me: Which distro (new, I would add) for mine laptop? 
The solution is not easy, above all considering the fact that of good distro us of is several in turn, neither tantomeno means to put to make one of those “wars of religion” own to me, ahimè, of some atmospheres of the pinguino (participates to the initiative “not to the distro war”, therefore…); thus I leave again to the search of a my ancient love, opensuse, reached the phase of development beta 1 of version 11. I will not be to list of to all the characteristics because the object of the post is not this, but will say of last the modernizations:

  • Linux kernel 2.6.25-rc9
  • GCC 4.3
  • libzypp 3.12.1
  • PackageKit 0.2.0
  • AppArmor 2.3
  • Xen 3.2.1 RC1
  • glibc 2,8 CVS
  • PulseAudio 0.9.10
