Fedora vs. Ubuntu




We have seen both the Linux distribution have made a great progress past years. Both are great, but which is better?

Ubuntu is based on Debian and Fedora is based on Fedora Core, which is based on Red Hat Linux. Both have the same desktop environment, i.e. Gnome.

Both have almost the same set of applications. But still what's the difference?

Ubuntu use Snap and Fedora uses Flatpak. From personal experience, what I have felt is Snap apps are much slower. Fedora feels much smoother in some ways. Both have good collection for apps.

Software Center in Ubuntu and Fedora are not that great. They take a lot of time to retrieve just the information. Sometimes the search doesn't work well too. There are other ways to install apps by using terminal or using Synaptic Package Manager.

Also, Fedora uses dnf where as Ubuntu uses apt.

I like the setup in Fedora. They use Anaconda Installer, which I felt was more convenient. First they install the OS and then reboot and setup the rest of the things. In Ubuntu, they download packages during the installation for the further updates which is also nice. 

I like pure Gnome with Adwaita theme and Gnome icon. I am a fan of both, but I like to use Fedora as it's much smoother than Ubuntu.

Ubuntu has a large fan base than Fedora and community is also great.

The end decision is up to you. Choose you distribution. :)
