Ubuntu 22.04 vs Fedora 36 – Resource Usage & Gaming Comparison
It’s finally time again for a big comparison between Fedora 36 and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Both distros were released in the same year and have similar specs. In this video we take a comprehensive look at the two distros and compare the look and feel, specs and configs, and look at some benchmarks.
The hardware I used for the comparison was a Gigabyte Brix running a Celeron J4105 with Intel UHD 600 Graphics.

This video is long overdue but it’s the most complex video I’ve made to date! I did it all with Kdenlive (including audio editing!) from Flathub. I rendered the side-by-side footage using guides, which I’ve never done before.
It took a frustrating amount of time to produce this video but I’m super happy with it. The ending is a little choppy but I didn’t *really* want to record any more voice overs haha.
The original draft for this was around 35 minutes long. I cut a TON of footage and several sections to shorten it but it’s probably still too long, huh? You tell me if it should be longer or shorter!

Hey you guys! It took a while to make this one, I hope you enjoy it. What two distros should I compare for the next one? Don't forget to check the description for credits, links, and other good stuff!
nahh im just doing random research and i come across you 😭love the asmr btw
“Gnome feels very mobile”
Good reason to use a spin (though I fully understand why you used stock for this purpose). I’ve got the fedora cinnamon spin on my computers and it’s pretty damn good.
you're furry
Hey, great video. If mago hud doesnt work in CSGO, you can always enable FPS to be displayed using CSGO's console with the command "net_graph 1" or "cl_showfps 1".
I just found this channel and love the quality of the videos. Many thanks 🙂
lvoe your videos and have been a supporter for a few years now. keep up the great work and thanks for helping me determine my next step. Can i ask about a comparison of Pure OS though as a GNU OS would be winderful to see take the spotlight and see how it performs against its non GNU competitors.
Thanks for comparison video. I am still not sure if i should work on Fedora or Pop. Got nvidia card and i work a loot in Blender. Fedora fills nice but those updated are way more often then on windows. Do you know any good tutorial on how to configure firewalld on fedora?
This was a great comparison. Like the project farm of distribution comparisons. Awesome work!
ayo can we get a manjaro video?? keep up the good work
I like this new video format egee!, just need more gameplay footage, it is kind of relaxing to hear your rambling about linux while watching you play.
I think ubuntu is lighter and more stable than fedora. Every time i create a fedora hyper-v VM it is always so slow, and tend to crash, it even able to crash my host PC because of high disk usage. I never get those weird problem with ubuntu. Centos and rocky has similar problem, but not as bad as fedora.
Great video bro
great video.. could you give nobara linux a try and share your thoughts on it?
Good video! I am using Fedora myself for quite some time now and I really like it, not using the GNOME version though but KDE is what I prefer.
1:47 – if I were to guess, the install took so long because a majority of what comes in the Ubuntu live ISO is crazy compressed, and decompressing it onto the drive is heavily CPU intensive (so that Celeron had its work cut out for it). It's also important to note what 'kind' of SSD is in the machine. All SSDs are faster than HDDs, but they're not all created equal. Some are nothing more than glorified SD cards.
I have an HP laptop with a Celeron and one of those "SD Card" SSDs (I forget the proper term.) I tried installing Slackware on it (a distro that compiles your programs real-time), and that process took over 30 minutes. Installing Mono took 2 hours. TLDR you'd be surprised how much of a role CPU plays.
A minor correction. Fedora 36 has GNOME Text Editor not Gedit.
I'm always so torn between these two distros. I like the enterprise focus of Ubuntu … but while I try to learn Linux at an enterprise level I'm stuck in RHEL land and end up on Fedora sometimes. Right now, however, I'm running Pop!_OS as I think it brings a good blend of style and packages without needing to really modify anything out of the gate. Great video though! Those tables must have taken a long time to make.
Thanks for sharing love your distro videos
Amazing video! One thing though: fedora provides two Nvidia packages: the version mentioned in the video, 470, and the latest, currently 515.
I really like this format, Egee. Great comparison. I didn't expect Ubuntu to run lighter…
Did you setup rpmfusion on Fedora with the extra multimedia post-install?
greedy me is looking for a flavor that can use pipewire in VT ;D do you think i can shrink fedora that way?
I've been using Fedora at my work machine for quite some time and I'm really happy with its stability and performance. Both ubuntu and fedora are great!
Great vid!
Interesting comparison !
I’m impressed about the performance of Ubuntu, did not expect that …
Dude, I'm so flattered and honored that you keep using my game in these videos. ^.-.^ Thanks for making this. I've been curious about Fedora for some time but never took a closer look at it.
