Hi, just wanted to say, the quality of this video is phenomenal and informative all while remaining engaging all throughout! As a somewhat new Linux user, if I may, what software(s) were you using for the animations? That’s something I’d also like to get into at some point!
This is first of your videos i saw ever. Very good work, I really liked your editing style. Hope you"ll have a fun being a content maker and building a comunity of your own
A great unbiased review of both distros. However your issues may be different from others who may have different issues with their linux distro. I can see why it took you awhile to edit this great review, the editing and the flow of topics are top notch. 👍🙂👍
Thanks! Yea of course, everyone has a different experience, results may be different especially since I tested the 2 distros in VMs lol Glad to hear you liked the editing! I put alot of time into every detail lol, tried to get it as good as possible, the audio sounds a bit scuffed unfortunately but that seems to be a RUclips issue cause the file itself is fine
Great Video! I appreciate how you include the mini how-tos like with the codecs for fedora to show what the process really is.I also didnt really know much about the package manager but now i do.I still prefer just ctrl C'ing and v'ing into the terminal though
Thanks! Yea wanted to include a little demonstration about the codecs lol, glad you liked it. Yea for newbies dnfdragora would be less intimidating, still indimidating but less than a terminal, but I love the terminal and use it instead

Nice and professional video I guess it wasn't mentioned but remember for tests it would be good to use the same file system, by default fedora has btrfs and ubuntu ext4 which causes a lot of differences in later tests: speed of reading, starting applications or coping files. Comparing distro installations and saying that they are the same and user-friendly is a misunderstanding, fedora has one of the strangest, while ubuntu has the simplest in the world. The speed of installing system/applications often depends on nearby mirror server. Good luck with the channel, l like your ideas!
Thanks! True, I didn’t actually think of using a different file system, however most people, atleast newbies, wouldn’t change the file system on install, so the comparison is supposed to be between Ubuntu’s and Fedora’s stock state and default choices. Results could be different if both used the same file system though yeah. Regarding the installer, I personally see both to be just as simple, but the more common layout is Ubuntu’s so I think many people believe it to be simpler because they’re used to it.
I have a 4090 on 34" UWQHD. I couldn't make it work on Fedora 40, it kept rolling back to some "default" drivers. Also it weirdly messed with my cursor, 50% of the time it physically ran off by approx. 30-50px on screen. I clicked somewhere only to find that the cursor is actually 50px to the right. It was just... Well, Bad. And it wasn't VM, I've wiped my Win11 to move on with Linux) Now I'm back to Win hoping that someday Fedora might be stable enough to support basic hardware and be usable in day to day life
You may need the newer Nvidia 550 or 555 drivers, or maybe the X11 session needed to be used, Nvidia was notoriously bad on Fedora systems and while it’s getting significantly better nowadays, it’s still pretty bad, so I wouldn’t recommend Fedora if you have an Nvidia GPU lol
One slight correction, while fedora is a developmental test bed for future RHEL releases, it is actually Red Hat Linux based, but with more updated repos, and kernel.
@@PenguinByte it's the other way around. Before Fedora, there was Red Hat Linux, until they spun off into RHEL, and changed the name from Red Hat Linux to Fedora. Your AFAIK is just your opinion. You did good research about Ubuntu vs Fedora, but as far as history dictates, Fedora was formerly named as Red Hat Linux. To prevent confusion between Enterprise Linux and the previously named Red Hat Linux, they have to rename it to Fedora.
Ubuntu the king. I use it everydays on two pc. One to work and one to play. This is the best, fast and stable os i ever used. I'm an absolute fan since the begin of 2023. I use some Snaps, some Flatpaks, some appimages and .deb for the rest. I had some issues with Snaps but now this is good and work as well as flatpaks.

Hey just came across your channel, very well explained! I installed Fedora on my laptop yesterday and when I close the lid, it goes to sleep as it should! But when I open the lid, it'll take well over 7 secs to show me the lockscreen! Not only that, but the brightness will be bumped up to Max which is very annoying! Do you have any fix for this??
Thanks! Hmm... interesting. Regarding the brightness going all the way up, do you wake your computer in very light/sunny environments? If so, that maybe the cause and I'm not sure how to disable that, I would need to do some digging lol Regarding the wake taking a while, I'm honestly not sure but it could be a hardware related issue, maybe Fedora isn't optimized for your hardware or it maybe very old. How old is your hardware? Other than that I can't suggest too much yet, I need to research that a little bit. I will do my best but if I can't find the solution, you can also ask on Fedora's forums :) discussion.fedoraproject.org I did find the following thread, not sure if it's of any help cause I'm still looking into it: discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/slow-wake-from-sleep/72617/9
@@PenguinByteso for the brightness issue, even if I use it indoors, it still goes up to the maximum level once the lid is open! And my hardware isn't pretty old, Ryzen 5500U GTX 1650 16 gigs of ram! The wakeup time on Ubuntu was less than 3 seconds! Whereas on Fedora it takes like 10 secs to get into the home screen! I tried looking for solutions as well, but wasn't successful! As you mentioned that you used Fedora on your laptop for over a year, I thought maybe you would've faced the same issue! I agree about the unnecessary error reports that Ubuntu throws at us, and also sometimes some of the packages won't even install! Never faced such issues on Fedora! Everything works fine except for the brightness issue and the screen wake up time! Thank you for taking your time to reply! Cheers mate! Keep up the good work 🙏🏼
Ok interesting to know, the technical info helps me alot! Not fully sure about the brightness and waketime issues yet but I noticed you mentioned you have an Nvidia GPU, and when I searched your AMD processor I saw that it has integrated graphics built in. Is your Fedora installation defaulting to your AMD integrated graphics or Nvidia dedicated graphics? When I used Fedora I almost never had any issues but everyone's experience and hardware is different, my main computer I used back then for Fedora had an Nvidia card but Fedora defaulted to the built in Intel integrated graphics so I never had any weird graphics issues. Yea Fedora is less annoying and more polished with regards to not throwing tons of errors at you for doing basically nothing lol, I love how stable and polished Fedora is. Great to hear everything else is working fine! Also thanks! Absolutely
@@PenguinByte while installing it, when Fedora was in 37, 38 version it used to throw me an error if I install it using my Nvidia card! It almost never opened the anaconda installer! But on Fedora 40, it changed! It clearly opened the installer and everything went smoothly. I didn't have to select safe graphics mode during the boot menu this time!
Both should work fine, Fedora under the hood is still Fedora, so the user experience depends solely on the desktop environments, or atleast it should. I've heard mixed reviews about the KDE spin, some love it while others have buggy experiences with it that they don't have on the flagship GNOME edition. Then again some desktop environments are more stable than others, so maybe those issues were with KDE itself. In general I've had a pretty poor experience with KDE every time I've used it, but if it works well for you, then it should also work well in Fedora. I've never used Cinnamon so I don't know much about it but it should also work fine.
@@PenguinByte I get bored too easily which is why Linux is perfect. There’s a different flavour when I get bored. Fedora tho so far seems to work well for my development work and I need stability for that. Fedora seems solid as a rock.
@@leejacksondev Yeah Fedora is rock solid for stability, Fedora was more stable for me for a year than even Debian was for a month which was interesting lol. And yea I caught the distrohopping fever at the beginning of the year, been hopping ever since lmao
PenguinBytel 1:37 Containerized packages cannot run on multiple architechtures any more than normal packages can, as the libraries and program inside the container are still compiled for an architechture,
There was a mistake during the software install race. Is a very common mistake actually. Fedora has to waste time by getting package metadata over the network. I believe Ubuntu does that too, but is somehow prefetched, or otherwise cached. That means Ubuntu can instantly download the package, and install. Where Fedora is downloading the repo metadata, and gets delayed. This issue also explains why subsequent dnf installs were comparable with apt install. The first time Fedora was slow, but from then forward the operations were effectively fair.
Yeah I know that, I wasn’t fully aware how to not include the prefetching, in hindsight maybe I could’ve cut the fetching out, that was probably the best idea tbh, but I didn’t think of that so decided to make 3 comparisons between the 2, next time I will change that though lol
Nice video, however you opened with a huge incorrect statement regarding Fedora not being related to any other Linux Distribution. The fact is, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and Fedora are related projects, with Fedora being "upstream" of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. You can find the relevant information at Fedora Docs under the FAQ.
@@Bruce.ItsYourPC I said Fedora wasn’t based on any other Linux distro, I didn’t say it isn’t related to any other Linux distro, it is related to RHEL and other distros in the Fedora family of course.
I also had weird error messages on Ubuntu. You can disable those messages BTW. But I don't use Ubuntu anymore. Fedora I've never used. Not a fan of flatpaks. MX Xfce is my daily driver.
Ah nice! Hope MX Linux is going well, yea I always get the error messages, wasn’t actually aware you could disable them since I never tried so good to know!
I've been using Fedora since 2003 / 2004, and I've grown right along with it....when it comes to administration on the system? I prefer using the "sudo -i" command?...enter my password?...and then I don't have to type sudo anymore! Its just "dnf command-name[install, remove, update etc]" then I hit enter.
@@CuriousSpy unfortunately the computer I used doesn’t have a GPU, unless that’s also possible with iGPU, never tried it before but I will look into it! Thanks for the suggestion :)
@@PenguinByte i experienced pain for the last 2 months with this tech. So just one advice before you start (when you start) you need either 2 different gpus (nvidia/amd) or gpu with split support (latest intel arcs or professional amd/nvidia)
@@PenguinByte there is good reason why i favour fedora over ubuntu. I noticed when i removed and blocked snaps in latest ubuntu that cannonical seems to be switching most normal packages to snaps so one can assume that cannonical wants official ubuntu to be snap exclusive so removing and blocking snaps in future versions my cause more and more problems and instabilities for system which in turn may result in many derivatives if not all switching over to debian as base, not too long ago kali linux used to be ubuntu derivative but they switched over to debian as base, mint has debian version too because they want to be prepared in case they switch over to debian as base and completely drop ubuntu. Ubuntu used to be good distro before cannonical started forcing snaps. I have ubuntu on my laptop but i am going to replace it with debian. I wanted fedora originaly as my distro of choice but i gave up because if you wanna make custom fedora iso it's nightmare till image builder gets more options and somebody makes proper tutorial how to use it, kickstart file from fedora isn't difficult to make but still no proper tutorials on how to write it.
Linux is easy to use, they said, and then spent 10 minutes explaining how to configure Fedora to work properly. I wish I had come across this video before I tried it for the first time
It usually is very easy to use, usually you can just use it right away, but yea some distros like Fedora are an exception and do require some setup at first for codecs. That's why I hesitate to recommend Fedora to newbies even if I really want to lol
Ubuntu is still full of bugs. Installed it yesterday. After an hour I deleted it and installed Fedora again. It just works ❤ And Ubuntu does not have more Software available on their new snap store.
The Snap Store has approximately 5100+ packages as of 2021 iirc, while Flathub has 2600+ as of today Also yea Fedora has never had issues for me aside from codecs lol, same experience here
@@PenguinByte thanks for your answer. When i search something in the snap store most of time its not available but i can find it on Fedora. Also a lot of snaps are not working after i installed it on Ubuntu. Switched back to Fedora.
@@nemowei5553 Flatpak does have some apps that Snap doesn’t for sure, and I love the libadwaita app ecosystem on Flatpak that includes things like Warp, Parabolic, and others, Snaps don’t have all of them but a shocking amount of them are there, and Flatpaks seem more stable although Snaps usually work fine for me, keyword usually lol. And Fedora is also definitely a lot more stable than Ubuntu
Depends what you mean by RedHat. If you mean RedHat Linux, Fedora was rebranded from “RedHat Linux” to “Fedora” about 2 decades back when RHEL was released, to avoid naming confusion. If you’re talking about RedHat Enterprise Linux, the latest RHEL release forks a Fedora version (usually the latest version at the time that development for the next RHEL release begins), and builds upon that base.
I mean the original red hat Linux branch I can remember buying it in a box at Best Buy and the they created Fedora Core as the free version I believe. I can also remember other distros such as Mandrake being Red Hat based.
For me Fedora is perfect. If for any reason I leave Fedora(very unlikely), I am sure I don't go with Ubuntu because the use of Snaps, I prefer Debian, Mint to Ubuntu and the distros based in Arch too, only rank Ubuntu over Open Suse what really I had errors with the installation and I cannot use.
Container packages are 10x the size of normal packages. If you double-click on a .deb file, you will see that it doesn't work! You can't install a package by double clicking on it. When I was installing Ubuntu, I got an error. Basic installation doesn't even work in this garbage distro. Some things installed and some others didn't I guess. I tried installing Fedora and it didn't even work. LoL. There aren't many customization options on Ubuntu. You need to install Tweaks to customize basic things. Why do you use bozz words? They don't mean anything. Military grade security? LOL.
bakafp: fedora actually does offer military grade security, fedora is something like the testing branch of red hat enterprise, which is used by militaries and SElinux's multi-level policy is made for militaries and other important organizations. Fedora has everything red hat has, but it has a more frequent release cycle and more recent packages.
I never had issues with installing either, could be your hardware not being well supported, not sure. As of recently, you can actually double click deb files in Ubuntu, it used to load endlesssly but now opens just fine in Ubuntu software, or is supposed to.
Very Confident young man (in a good way). Blew me away with your knowledge. Well Presented. Only negs would be not using darkmode (my eyes 🥸). Not doing side-by-side split screen comparisons.

I agree about the unnecessary error reports that Ubuntu throws at us, and also sometimes some of the packages won't even install! Never faced such issues on Fedora! Everything works fine except for the brightness issue and the screen wake up time!
Thank you for taking your time to reply!
Cheers mate! Keep up the good work 🙏🏼
Ok interesting to know, the technical info helps me alot!
Not fully sure about the brightness and waketime issues yet but I noticed you mentioned you have an Nvidia GPU, and when I searched your AMD processor I saw that it has integrated graphics built in. Is your Fedora installation defaulting to your AMD integrated graphics or Nvidia dedicated graphics?
When I used Fedora I almost never had any issues but everyone's experience and hardware is different, my main computer I used back then for Fedora had an Nvidia card but Fedora defaulted to the built in Intel integrated graphics so I never had any weird graphics issues.
Yea Fedora is less annoying and more polished with regards to not throwing tons of errors at you for doing basically nothing lol, I love how stable and polished Fedora is. Great to hear everything else is working fine!
Also thanks! Absolutely
@@PenguinByte while installing it, when Fedora was in 37, 38 version it used to throw me an error if I install it using my Nvidia card! It almost never opened the anaconda installer! But on Fedora 40, it changed! It clearly opened the installer and everything went smoothly. I didn't have to select safe graphics mode during the boot menu this time!
@@Blazing_Alex Awesome to hear! I guess they've made updates to Nvidia support, I gotta check that out now lol
Thank you 👍👍👍
which fedora os have better user exp kde or cinamon?
Both should work fine, Fedora under the hood is still Fedora, so the user experience depends solely on the desktop environments, or atleast it should. I've heard mixed reviews about the KDE spin, some love it while others have buggy experiences with it that they don't have on the flagship GNOME edition. Then again some desktop environments are more stable than others, so maybe those issues were with KDE itself. In general I've had a pretty poor experience with KDE every time I've used it, but if it works well for you, then it should also work well in Fedora. I've never used Cinnamon so I don't know much about it but it should also work fine.
@@PenguinByte whoa, what a pleasant explanation so detail and can you make a content about gaming os distro? (if you have time)
But I use Arch btw
Won't going to repeat everyone's words once again so just, good luck :D
@@Beryesa. thanks lol
Fedora is my daily driver. Love it. And epic video mate. Love it.
Thanks! Yeah I daily drove Fedora for a year and recently for like a month or a bit less, it's by far my favorite distro out of the bunch lol
@@PenguinByte I get bored too easily which is why Linux is perfect. There’s a different flavour when I get bored. Fedora tho so far seems to work well for my development work and I need stability for that. Fedora seems solid as a rock.
@@leejacksondev Yeah Fedora is rock solid for stability, Fedora was more stable for me for a year than even Debian was for a month which was interesting lol. And yea I caught the distrohopping fever at the beginning of the year, been hopping ever since lmao
Great video to send to friends and family. Make a video of linux mint and zorin. These 4 are the most beginner friendly. Keep up with good work
Thank you! Also thanks for the suggestion, I will definitely consider it :)
PenguinBytel 1:37 Containerized packages cannot run on multiple architechtures any more than normal packages can, as the libraries and program inside the container are still compiled for an architechture,
True
First time i used linux i has on Ubuntu, but After meeting Fedora 40 both KDE/GNOME desktop i never distro hopped anymore xd, im kinda enjoying it!
Glad to hear! Yea when I used Fedora for a year I saw no good reason to distrohop, which is why I used it for a year lol
1:04 Let me stop you there. Fedora is based on and sponsored by Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Other than that, you are good also good video
Red Hat Enterprise Linux is actually based on Fedora Workstation, and yes Fedora is sponsored by RedHat :)
Also thanks!
Fedora actually could run on my machine and doesn't have snaps and other weird things so I choose that. GNOME is terrible though got kde.
I think your channel is new but appreciate the quality your channel will grow if you go like this good luck 😊
Thanks! Yeah it’s new-ish, I started about a year ago but the channel has come a long way since then lol
storm while recording the video lol. also it was really good
lmao yea was a bit shocked when that happened 💀
Also thanks!
I always install nala on any debian distro, it is an apt frontend that looks similar to dnf.
There was a mistake during the software install race. Is a very common mistake actually. Fedora has to waste time by getting package metadata over the network. I believe Ubuntu does that too, but is somehow prefetched, or otherwise cached. That means Ubuntu can instantly download the package, and install. Where Fedora is downloading the repo metadata, and gets delayed. This issue also explains why subsequent dnf installs were comparable with apt install. The first time Fedora was slow, but from then forward the operations were effectively fair.
Yeah I know that, I wasn’t fully aware how to not include the prefetching, in hindsight maybe I could’ve cut the fetching out, that was probably the best idea tbh, but I didn’t think of that so decided to make 3 comparisons between the 2, next time I will change that though lol
Nice video, however you opened with a huge incorrect statement regarding Fedora not being related to any other Linux Distribution. The fact is, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and Fedora are related projects, with Fedora being "upstream" of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. You can find the relevant information at Fedora Docs under the FAQ.
@@Bruce.ItsYourPC I said Fedora wasn’t based on any other Linux distro, I didn’t say it isn’t related to any other Linux distro, it is related to RHEL and other distros in the Fedora family of course.
hey what is that kinda task manager on linux app name?
@@Helios.vfx. hey! The task manager I used was “Mission Center”, it can be found on Flathub :)
@@PenguinByte Thanks mate, I was using bpytop. Nice one, but this one reminds me of windows times :D
I also had weird error messages on Ubuntu. You can disable those messages BTW. But I don't use Ubuntu anymore. Fedora I've never used. Not a fan of flatpaks. MX Xfce is my daily driver.
Ah nice! Hope MX Linux is going well, yea I always get the error messages, wasn’t actually aware you could disable them since I never tried so good to know!
I've been using Fedora since 2003 / 2004, and I've grown right along with it....when it comes to administration on the system? I prefer using the
"sudo -i" command?...enter my password?...and then I don't have to type sudo anymore! Its just "dnf command-name[install, remove, update etc]" then I hit enter.
Great to hear :) also thanks for sharing!
You forgot making of the video of all immutable distro.
I have many other videos planned at the moment, but I may eventually make a vid about that in the future :)
@@PenguinByte I envy you as youngest Linux user.
fedora if you need recent packages, if you don't both are great
@@jorge86rodriguez absolutely
17:00 well what CPU did you use ^^
I don't fully remember how much I gave the virtual machine, the computer i tested it on (my main personal computer) has an intel Core i5 8th gen
your professionality is bigger than your age
lmao thank you!
if you want smooth experience in VM, try GPU passthrough
@@CuriousSpy unfortunately the computer I used doesn’t have a GPU, unless that’s also possible with iGPU, never tried it before but I will look into it! Thanks for the suggestion :)
@@PenguinByte i experienced pain for the last 2 months with this tech. So just one advice before you start (when you start) you need either 2 different gpus (nvidia/amd) or gpu with split support (latest intel arcs or professional amd/nvidia)
@@CuriousSpy ah ok, my main computer which was repaired just recently has an Nvidia GPU so that may work, although it’s a tad old lol
You should eventually compare debian and fedora, cut out ubuntu altogether. Debian needs more work out the box though.
@@bkThund3r I do plan to compare Debian against Arch soon, and I could definitely do Debian vs Fedora in the future as well
In my book fedora is overall winner.
Even though the tests favor Ubuntu, I agree with you, I personally prefer Fedora much over Ubuntu
@@PenguinByte there is good reason why i favour fedora over ubuntu. I noticed when i removed and blocked snaps in latest ubuntu that cannonical seems to be switching most normal packages to snaps so one can assume that cannonical wants official ubuntu to be snap exclusive so removing and blocking snaps in future versions my cause more and more problems and instabilities for system which in turn may result in many derivatives if not all switching over to debian as base, not too long ago kali linux used to be ubuntu derivative but they switched over to debian as base, mint has debian version too because they want to be prepared in case they switch over to debian as base and completely drop ubuntu. Ubuntu used to be good distro before cannonical started forcing snaps. I have ubuntu on my laptop but i am going to replace it with debian. I wanted fedora originaly as my distro of choice but i gave up because if you wanna make custom fedora iso it's nightmare till image builder gets more options and somebody makes proper tutorial how to use it, kickstart file from fedora isn't difficult to make but still no proper tutorials on how to write it.
nala is much better alternative to apt...it keeps history like dnf.

On actual hardware, Fedora is a clean 4 or 5 minute install every time. Ubuntu is like installing openSUSE, but worse!
Yeah lol from personal experience I can agree with that
Linux is easy to use, they said, and then spent 10 minutes explaining how to configure Fedora to work properly. I wish I had come across this video before I tried it for the first time
It usually is very easy to use, usually you can just use it right away, but yea some distros like Fedora are an exception and do require some setup at first for codecs. That's why I hesitate to recommend Fedora to newbies even if I really want to lol
I hate fedora installer (bad for a beginner imo) but besides that I think fedora is better
for newbies Fedora's installer can definitely be more confusing, also yea I agree, Fedora is my favorite distro
Ubuntu is still full of bugs. Installed it yesterday. After an hour I deleted it and installed Fedora again. It just works ❤ And Ubuntu does not have more Software available on their new snap store.
The Snap Store has approximately 5100+ packages as of 2021 iirc, while Flathub has 2600+ as of today
Also yea Fedora has never had issues for me aside from codecs lol, same experience here
@@PenguinByte thanks for your answer. When i search something in the snap store most of time its not available but i can find it on Fedora. Also a lot of snaps are not working after i installed it on Ubuntu. Switched back to Fedora.
@@nemowei5553 Flatpak does have some apps that Snap doesn’t for sure, and I love the libadwaita app ecosystem on Flatpak that includes things like Warp, Parabolic, and others, Snaps don’t have all of them but a shocking amount of them are there, and Flatpaks seem more stable although Snaps usually work fine for me, keyword usually lol. And Fedora is also definitely a lot more stable than Ubuntu
Fedora ❤

Fedora is based on Red Hat.
Depends what you mean by RedHat. If you mean RedHat Linux, Fedora was rebranded from “RedHat Linux” to “Fedora” about 2 decades back when RHEL was released, to avoid naming confusion. If you’re talking about RedHat Enterprise Linux, the latest RHEL release forks a Fedora version (usually the latest version at the time that development for the next RHEL release begins), and builds upon that base.
I mean the original red hat Linux branch I can remember buying it in a box at Best Buy and the they created Fedora Core as the free version I believe. I can also remember other distros such as Mandrake being Red Hat based.
My bad I just remembered that they then flipped it around and now Fedora feeds red hat my bad.
It’s fine, many people get it mixed up lol
For me Fedora is perfect. If for any reason I leave Fedora(very unlikely), I am sure I don't go with Ubuntu because the use of Snaps, I prefer Debian, Mint to Ubuntu and the distros based in Arch too, only rank Ubuntu over Open Suse what really I had errors with the installation and I cannot use.
Yeah Fedora is my favorite distro lol, while Ubuntu won the tests I would still definitely use Fedora
Container packages are 10x the size of normal packages.
If you double-click on a .deb file, you will see that it doesn't work! You can't install a package by double clicking on it.
When I was installing Ubuntu, I got an error. Basic installation doesn't even work in this garbage distro. Some things installed and some others didn't I guess.
I tried installing Fedora and it didn't even work. LoL.
There aren't many customization options on Ubuntu. You need to install Tweaks to customize basic things.
Why do you use bozz words? They don't mean anything. Military grade security? LOL.
bakafp: fedora actually does offer military grade security, fedora is something like the testing branch of red hat enterprise, which is used by militaries and SElinux's multi-level policy is made for militaries and other important organizations. Fedora has everything red hat has, but it has a more frequent release cycle and more recent packages.
@@oblivikun 👍
I never had issues with installing either, could be your hardware not being well supported, not sure. As of recently, you can actually double click deb files in Ubuntu, it used to load endlesssly but now opens just fine in Ubuntu software, or is supposed to.
