I've been running 64 bit Linux for awhile.  I had issues installing
32bit (Fedora 10) on my desktop but 64 bits works perfectly.

As a user, I don't see the issues about plugins, etc.  Of course, I block flash.

I got a cheap Lenovo at Christmas and run Ubuntu 9.10 right now.
Suspend works perfectly.  I haven't gotten wireless to work yet but I
haven't spent time on it beyond trying the default Ubuntu stuff.
Everything else is perfect.
