I've been using Debian-based distros most of my adult Linux life, but I read recently that KDE has a better experience on Fedora than Kubuntu, so I want to try it out.

I already know that I won't be able to use apt, but what other differences should I expect with fedora?

The do not have an LTS release? What is upgrading like? When should you upgrade if you want stability?

Have you been running KDE on Kubuntu? Or are you wanting to try KDE?

[–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago

I still am running KDE on Kubuntu on my laptop. I had Ubuntu Studio which uses KDE Plasma on my desktop, but I recently downgraded to the long-term support release of Ubuntu with GNOME because it seemed to be better supported on my hardware, and supported for longer than the kubuntu 24.04 LTS.

I recently got one of those beelink mini PCs to try hooking up to my TV and using KDE's Plasma Bigscreen feature. So I would like to really prioritize that for this system and try to have an up-to-date well-supported KDE. 

I heard on some video that KDE pairs really well with fedora, so that's what I wanted to try.
