Linux can handle any problem you have, and if you're just a basic user, you shouldn't have too many problems outside of set-up. Video set-up is a pain if you want the Compiz-fusion graphics manager to work (at least for ATI Mobility cards) but after you've screwed up the X windows manager and have had to use command prompt to fix it, you know to never mess that up again (If that is currently your case, the lynx text-based browser is a godsend).
I originally had problems with the audio lagging for youtube videos, but that was 6 months ago or so. With the recent explosion of popularity that Ubuntu has been experiencing, I have had no problems at all. I even got my Audigy 2 ZS PCMCIA card working in only a couple of minutes.
