Is there a reason to pick Fedora over Ubuntu? (lemmy.world)

Ubuntu is the leading distro, if I'm not mistaken. It's also compatible with Mint, Zorin, Xubuntu, etc, which are another leading distros than Fedora. Is it only for redhat users or secondary distro?

I see. Need to read more about the current state of Kubuntu, because I don't want recommend something that might be not in a good state. Kubuntu was a good choice in the past.

Granted my opinion on kubuntu may be a bit colored, because right this moment, I’m quite frustrated with it.

I don't think your opinion is less worth just because you experience problems.

    Discover in Kubuntu works a little differently than you would expect if you used KDE elsewhere.

    What do you mean "differently"? I know that "Discover" only works for Flatpak in Arch based systems, such as EndeavourOS and on SteamOS. I never used Kubuntu or KDE on Ubuntu.

    I can't remember exactly. There are two app stores and Discover is one of them. If I was you I would boot into a live or virtual environment and check it out. I think it's explained in the welcome screen.

    Sorry I can't remember.

    No worries. As for checking it out myself, its a bit too much work to download iso and install the operating system just to check something for a random question. :D And searching the web is a bit difficult because of the name of the app "Discover" is not very unique. I'm not planning on using Kubuntu anyway, it was a curious question, so not important at all.

    I know that Discover does not support native repositories on Arch based systems. So my expectation is it has something to do with that. On Kubuntu there is also Snap, on top of Flatpak and native packaging. I assume it was confusing to deal with all of that. It's not really a unique "problem" to Kubuntu. Just looking here a bit https://kubuntu-docs.readthedocs.io/en/22.04.0/software-management/repositories.html .

    Thanks for the replies, never mind and have a nice day.
