Linux Distros?

I'm looking to reinstall Linux and I've tried Ubuntu a few times, but I would like to branch out.

I'm not that great with console, though I can navigate my way around it a bit, and I've always used GNOME, so it might be nice to use KDE for once.

Can anyone suggest some good Linux distros for me?

Ok, I just tried installing Fedora. The installer hangs at /sbin/loader. And that's on an almost 2 year old computer, so it's not some fancy unsupported hardware. Some great distribution you faggots.
