I don't quite understand what this 'mess' is. Anyone new to linux wouldn't be trying to make a decision between medibuntu, xubuntu or kubuntu. No, they would simply take the distro promoted the most, and that's Ubuntu. People don't review smaller variants between larger players; no one makes a comparison between bluebuntu and fedora. that's because it's not even a question worth considering. You go with the distribution promoted the most. that distribution is ubuntu.
It's frustrating to see someone like the original poster who goes through the trouble of finding every possible distro fork and then deciding it's a mess. If you cared about having a choice, then you would be glad to have so many options. But clearly you are not, so i wonder then why did you go through all the trouble of looking for all the forks if you weren't looking for anything in particular? If having an options is so messy to you, why bother looking for options in the first place?
you should respect the fact that what forked from debian, was ubuntu and what forked from ubuntu, is linux mint. and those distributions are proper in their own right. If this concept is too much for you to fathom... then maybe you prefer being TOLD what computer to use, how it should look like, and how to use it; in other words, a mac.
