Ubuntu 24.04 vs Fedora 40: Side by Side Showdown!

• I tried both and ended up with Linux Mint

• Hi. how to make ubuntu with desktop enlightenment? is there an iso ready to use on the starter pendrive?

• ubuntu looks more polished

• Great video, I’m a total nube. After using Windows for most of my life this is mind blowing. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge.

• Does Fedora still require a separate /boot partition when I dual boot windows? First time I tried to manually set up partitions it does not allow me to use just a /boot/efi partition

• Snap updates is still buggy since Ubuntu 22.04.xx. And it’s not user friendly ever since. I couldn’t remember if I upload it on my channel. Until now Ubuntu 24.04 they still didn’t fix the snap update problem. You have to search the web and use the terminal. And finally decided to use Edubuntu 23.10 (the return) and currently uses the 24.04.

• Fedora have a big problem if your install on new RTX graphic card….install not launch….

• Now enable fractional scaling on fedora

• on ubuntu many steam(deb) games lagged with NVIDIA driver

• ubantu

• I'm a Ubuntu fan but I got sick of Snap and use Fedora, Manjaro now

• Tried Fedora. Even with default partition install as recommended for dual boot, Fedora nuked Windows in grub and uefi. Could not recover Windows at all. Ubuntu did dual boot with no problem. Going back to Ubuntu with vanilla Gnome, basically same look as Fedora.

• fedora40. good.

• I did not know Fedora could run on System 76 devices. Is the process pretty much like for any other computer?

• this was more of a comparison between the two gnome versions of each distro, not the distro itself. it still was interesting though.
  i'm neither an ubuntu nor a fedora user and i don't use gnome at all, so i'm happy to not need to decide between these two options 🙂 but if i had to i would nowadays clearly go with fedora

• Fedora 40 for me.

• Yeah…I tried both Ubuntu 24.04 and Fedora 40 on my laptop and snaps has ruined Ubuntu. I've had no issues with Fedora. Updates work, all of my extensions work, etc.

• I would pick Fedora because Ubuntu has to many bugs. You should compare them again after the Ubuntu point release when the bugs are squatted, but by then Fedora has changed too.

• You missed the change in the default Ubuntu install, now the default install is the old minimal install, while extended install is the old default install with all the applications pre-installed.
  A comparison based on real hardware in only fair, if you use the same hardware. The OS running on the newest HW will have a disadvantage with respect to HW related bugs. With the modern hypervisors it is more fair to use a VM, unless you want to test gaming performance and in that case you surely need to test on the same HW.
  The Ubuntu "Software Updater" does not really update snaps, despite that it promises it, so afterwards I always run "snap refresh" in the terminal to get all snaps updated. That avoided the stupid problem with the App Center, it is faster, it works on my other distros with snaps and it shows the progress of the snap updates.

• I am running both on my desktop on their own ssd's and both work nicely. However I agree with your comments about Fedora being better out of the box.The one problem I have with Ubuntu is the cog wheel on login for switching between X11 and Wayland is missing. The cog wheel is there if I run Ubuntu on my old laptop though but then the app-store will not boot on that one. Definitely a few bugs with Ubuntu's new release.

• Ubuntu installer has hidden issues. Fedora installer is so good that I could install it even on my fridge and it wouldn't cough!

• Fedora is the better choice.

• I personally will soon try both systems, but the LTS version of Ubuntu, which guarantees 5 years of support, even if it requires a few tweaks in the beginning, is much better than changing the system every 6 months, unless you're a distro-hopper :D. Also, perhaps openSUSE Tumbleweed is a wonderful alternative, both for everyday use and for gaming.

• I also saw it working on kubuntu and ubuntu on A1RM4X stream. The problem is SNAP problems made him upset with ubuntu, and he likes/uses it with CachyOS. I think CachyOS runs good with Nvidia. I have an AMD graphics card and works fine.

• Can you check that Android Studio works on Fedora including emulators? Emulators is my major pain, since bring CPU to 100%.

• For now with Ubuntu 24.04 install steam with gdebi (deb package). I saw a1rm4x testing Ubuntu and could launch some games with Steam snap and went with Steam deb (works). Just seems a lot of reviewers get upset with snap and then just hate Ubuntu all together; every distro has pros/cons. Thanks for the review….

• i opted for endeavour os gemini thats just me tho. archlife

• Hi can l playing pubg pc in fedora , thank you .
