I'd say that if all you want is a desktop machine then stick to Ubuntu,
maybe upgrade to a newer version and see if it fixes your problems. What
exactly makes you unsatisfied? Debian uses Gnome as default (at least it
used to the last time I used it on a desktop). How do you connect to the
internet?
There should be no problems with remounting /home under Debian since you
probably use ext3 (given you use 8.04) and not ext4 which is AFAIK not
supported by Debian stable.
