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?

Why would KDE work better on Fedora than any other distro?

[–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I saw this in a video comparing Linux distros, I assume that reason is that KDE developers might work more closely with fedora developers to get their updated packages in the repositories and get them tested before the releases are made. And what I've heard, Ubuntu does that more closely with GNOME and fedora does that more closely with KDE, but I don't really know anything.

KDE Neon is being used as playground for KDE, not Fedora. They update daily there: https://kde.org/distributions/

This might change when they are done developing KDE Linux: https://community.kde.org/KDE_Linux

KDE Neon is basically dead and only has one developer. It has also has numerous problems in the past making it unstable. KDE has an official distro (KDE Linux) now that they actually use as a test bed, though it is in alpha last I heard.

Fedora has amazing support for KDE in my experience. Fedora or openSUSE.
