Project Bluefin: A Linux Desktop for Serious Developers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Here maybe it's easier if I just paste in the differences:
Ubuntu-like GNOME layout.
GNOME Software with Flathub:
Built on top of the the Universal Blue main image
Starship is enabled by default to give you a nice shell prompt
Solaar - included for Logitech mouse management along with
libratbagd
Tailscale - included for VPN along with
wireguard-tools
zsh
andfish
optionalBuilt-in Ubuntu user space
Ctrl-Alt-u - will launch an Ubuntu image inside a terminal via Distrobox and your home directory will be transparently mounted for the Ubuntu image to access
A BlackBox terminal is used just for this configuration
Use this container for your typical CLI needs or to install software that is not available via Flatpak or Fedora
Optional ubuntu-toolbox image with Python, and other convenience development tools.

to get started. To configurejust
follow the guide.Optional universal image with Python, Node.js, JavaScript, TypeScript, C++, Java, C#, F#, .NET Core, PHP, Go, Ruby, and and Conda.
just distrobox-universal
to get startedjust assemble
shortcut to declaratively build distroboxes defined in/etc/distrobox/distrobox.ini
Refer to the Distrobox documentation for more information on using and configuring custom images
GNOME Terminal - Ctrl-Alt-t - will launch a host-level GNOME Terminal if you need to do host-level things in Fedora (you shouldn't need to do much).
Of course Fedora only signs Fedora images, we sign our own images.
Then use Silverblue! If you don't understand the features of something then you might not be the target audience!
