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?

you have an excellent path as you can truly appreciate fedora only if you've been through ubuntu's abuse i.e. the snap crap. my contention is that fedora should never be the first distro, but the next step, after you've figured out what's what with ubuntu or mint.

KDE don't got "closer relations" with fedora, it's just you get new shit sooner. and fedora is the antithesis of LTS.

the only issue hindering normal, everyday use is rectified by following the step-by-step instructions from rpmfusion (codecs and GPU drivers).
