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.

One of the problems, somebody else said lol they have some ideas and updates to new versions that work better for corporate area but for desktop users it gets slower and too bloated for a normal desktop user (or at least for me, was my experience), if for you, the problems that I say below is not a big deal for you when you try Fedora, you can use it, if it doesn't affect you Somebody would say that Ubuntu is a lot corporate, but if you remove snaps is really okay, on my experience... and there is Debian in anycase lmao
I had more problems with systemd on Fedora than other distros, despite on Ubuntu mostly you will have this issue with snaps only, this was mostly issues here, maybe for you would be different (I tried to install last month but systemd was crashing at boot and returned to my regular debian setup)
I had the kernel issue, on ubuntu it's a bit better to handle previous versions, sometimes an update doesn't work well, bad performance and you don't have so many options of rollback like Ubuntu (Debian too gives more options); and the praise, it's normal because it works well for specific users mostly pure gnome users that works well on any version and don't have issues from like I said before and don't really care losing a bit of performance if we have more "features" that others don't really use so much
