It’s that time of the year again and we have a brand new Ubuntu and a new Fedora, both released at the exact same time. Fedora 40 and ubuntu 24.04 LTS have dropped with refreshed desktops, updated kernels and the newest of everything.

Ubuntu and Fedora, both are two of the biggest and hottest Linux distos in the world. But the question that everyone has is, which one of these is the best? Which one of these two should I pick?

To help you answer that, I’ll take you on a deep dive with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Fedora 40. We’ll compare their performances, the user interfaces, stability, software availability, the gaming scene and a lot more, side by side. We’ll also objectively see- which of these two is the best.

I’ve been playing with the newest of Ubuntu and Fedora since they both hit beta and I’m really excited to share this video with you, because there’s a lot of interesting stuff that these two distros bring.

  • I just realised I've been using Ubuntu for 20 years. Gosh I feel old.

    Funnily I still see haters online speaking mostly falsehoods of Canonical thinking its cool or hip to do so. Look at unity for example, everyone whined about it, now they want it back.

    Truth is, canonical and ubuntu are awesome and its about time i say so. I've watched them make linux for human beings and their innovation is why I still use them today and plan to for the foreseeable future.

    Random tip for new user to quit distro hoping. Just pick from a major distribution that you like best and forget the rest. Debian.Fedora.Ubunti.Arch.Opensuse. oh and timeshift can be a life saviour.

  • Ubuntu socks it ships with an older kernel 5.4, I could not get it to run on my HP laptop so I switched to fedora

  • Ubuntu looks better, they nailed it. BUT: just install Debian 12 with gnome, add dash to dock extension, add eventually yaru theme manually from Deb packages and voilà: a distro better then Ubuntu and fedora combined!

  • Fedora did not work on my 8 y/o laptop. It was too buggy and unstable. The UI kept crashing and I was stuck on a black screen.

  • The Spiral Linux version of Ubuntu's parent Debian beats Ubuntu on ease of installation and stability. It pulls exclusively from Debian repos, but the developer has customized it to make it extremely user friendly. It pulls from several Debian repos that Debian doesn't have as default installation options.

    Its the only thing that could install the proper wifi driver on a Macbook and another old PC I had, after trying several major distros first, including Ubuntu and Fedora. Debian used to offer an unofficial ISO that had more drivers but Spiral Linux appears to be the only option for that now without using a distro pulling from non-Debian repos. Really old laptops can run it too if you install and switch to LXDE desktop at the login menu, which Spiral Linux XFCE did with no complications.

    If the Debian people had made this kind of desktop distro a long time ago, we probably wouldn't have seen nearly as many distros in the .deb world as we do today.

  • Nice video comparison. I agree with your comment about Nvidia having problems on Fedora. It matches my experience. I like flatpak better, but bad Nvidia keeps me away from Fedora.

  • This morning a1rm4x explained about the new Nvidia 555 drivers which fix issues when using a Wayland desktop; I think Gnome 46 is ready for this. I have an AMD 7800xt not Nvidia; so would be nice if someone could confirm their Nvidia gpu works properly using Wayland, would be nice, thanks.

  • Fedora is a great distro, but Canonical does a good job with GNOME, making it more usable with less work.

  • Fedora destroys ubuntu on everything. I use Linux for 17 years and I've tested both distros extensively. ubuntu is on a downward spiral.

  • I found it little bit biased to ubuntu. fedora is now far better than ubuntu in case of error free experience and less blotted than ubuntu. version upgrade process is now very smooth in fedora. on the other hand ubuntu is forcing user to be habituated with snap but fedora is far liberal on this point of view.

  • Ubuntu currently getting many errors in my desktop so i use fedora
