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. - Věda a technologie
Currently using ubuntu 24.04 have had an error free experience , it just works
Well it works most of the time for me, but I notice afew quirks. BTOP++ messes up after you suspend, the window is on another screen and also sometimes it shows high temps which could be corrupted results, so you have to restart it. Also I play tank online mmo with usually Google chrome but get 60-100fps but with firefox I get 165fps. When I just use 1 monitor then google chrome gives me 60-100fps. The other problem is CUPS-BROWSER process puts 2 cores at 100% and overheats; this is 1 bug that was in Ubuntu 23.10; so I have to restart the computer it happens rarely but does happen after I suspend. But other than that, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS works fairly well and notice it uses less ram than Windows 11.

This comparison was perfect, exactly what I needed. Decided to go with Ubuntu mainly due to updates. I tried you Linux Mastery course as well. The content was extremely informative and I learnt soo much. Thank you!
was waiting for this video
Old MacBook Pro Mid 2010 could I run either of these os? Should I use a more lightweight Linux? Thank you for your thoughts.
Yes. I think so. Mine has a hp laptop from 2011 I think. With 4th gen i5 so I think yours should too, considering pro MacBooks generally have good performance and since our laptops are from around same time, yours should have no problem running it.
Ubuntu currently getting many errors in my desktop so i use fedora
I agree...and I've found it difficult to nearly impossible to update grub on any Ubuntu based system...big problem if you have two drives installed. Fedora all the way!
@@colerche yes it is actually getting weired although for server it is well
For me too, the Ubuntu installer keep breaking and crashes during install
@RationalBeing-rh1zf yes i also said that
Mee too bro recently I switched to Debian 12
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.
I've been trying to get back to Linux the last two weeks, ubuntu was my first choice since that was what I fell in love with Linux back then. Sadly none of the ubuntu flavors seemed to work on my machine, either it was slow, buggy desktop, no wifi drivers working, or complete fail at system load, hadn't heard of the push back against ubuntu since I've been using windows in the last four or so years, even though my issues don't have to do with snaps or that stuff, today I finally could get a fully working desktop with fedora, and I'm glad I'm back, hopefully I will try ubuntu later in the future but sadly I will have to do it without them for now.
*Yesterday (25th May 2024) I installed Ubuntu 24.04 LTS*
1. NVIDIA drivers installed automatically (I was facing issues with fedora and previous ubuntu)
2. I observed the improvements in font rendering (Now I can read the Arabic and Urdu text clearly, both in apps and browsers)
3. Dark mode is looking awesome, switching between light and dark is so fast (But in browsers, page needs to be refresh manually)
4. I observed improvement in performance (response time, which we click or do anything)
5. I can see phonetics keyboard but it is working like macOS (still needs some work)
6. Apps are improved like, files, settings, notification panel, etc and some other minor improvements like padding and margin in Dock and other places
Overall... its really worth to upgrade the Ubuntu ❤️
There shouldn't be an issue using fedora and installing the Nvidia drivers properly. You didn't read the instructions.
hi, I run a video production house. I have davinci resolve studio and also use Blender for professional work. so for video and VFX what os you suggest, the Ubuntu or the fedora? especially from davinci resolve point of view. thanks if you can help me out with this decision

Minha primeira impressão do ubuntu 24.04 não foi boa estava cheio de erros inclusive no instalador, após algumas semanas as coisas se ajustaram e sinceramente não tenho problemas, hoje as coisas funcionam como deveriam, no Fedora 40 as coisas são mais estáveis logo de cara mas tive alguns pequenos bugs de áudio principalmente delay no chrome que me fizeram desistir do mesmo por hora.
Fedora is a great distro, but Canonical does a good job with GNOME, making it more usable with less work.
could you give some examples?
@@Zagoorland preinstalling addons adding taskbar from the start instead of workspace based workflow of stock gnome
Wait, Ngreedia on purpose, ignore FOSS way and yet you make it sound like it's the distro job or fault as to why installing those drivers suck?
My laptop has intel i3 processor 2nd generation. Which linux os would be best for me? Ubuntu 24.04 is good but I am facing slow boot problem.
slow boot is due to hardisk use ssd it will be fast
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.
use xfc
I had Ethernet connection problems with fedora so I ended up with Ubuntu which looks and runs so good out of the box. Use what works with your pc Ubuntu worked for me.
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.
Can you review Oreon Linux? It's a really cool distro! 😀
Running Ubuntu w deb,snap,flatpak,exe files.
Ubuntu for the win w out of the box dock, accent colors, driver manager and auto installation (along with everything the video mentioned).
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.
Depends on which Nvidia GPU. The proprietary drivers aren't all in one. So you can get the proprietary drivers but end up with drivers that are too old or too new depending on your GPU.
I have been using Zorin OS for 1 year. Too tired to switch at this point
I've been distro hopping the last 2 weeks 😂 zorin is awesome, but I had video playback issues, so today I tried fedora and was glad to find everything works oob, if I switch distros again zorin would be my top choice as apart from that issue everything was nice and luved the looks of it!
+1 For Zorin. It's my preferred distro
Very useful information 💪💪👌👌🤟🤟🤟
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.
Try Nobara
You made your ask before providing value. Rues opposite to the principle of reciprocity.
Ubuntu is life!
Very good information ,🔥🔥🔥🔥💯🎊🎊🎊🎊
Thank you 💯
for gaming or editing better use ubuntu or fedora?
If your gpu is Nvidia I would recommend Ubuntu. But to avoid issues with fedora with Nvidia card just disable security boot
@@nathanmiguel76oo i seee but i got amd graphic card, can it runing well in fedora n ubuntu?
I had to create account so i could state my case. Ubuntu 24.04 is literally the best linux distro i had the experience with. Up until now, i used to switch between mint (after distro hopping) and windows (previous Ubuntu's versions were way too buggy). I thought, why not give it another try. Literally for the first time, everything worked out of the box, no missing WiFi drivers, the internet speed is as equal as the one on windows, but most importantly, the fractional scaling at 125% works like a charm. I am running it on the work laptop from 2019 equipped with intel pentium 4417u and 8gb of ram, it's quite snappy. They did something because even fedora didn't run that fast or popos in my case. As for my beloved Mint Cinnamon, wayland is still in the experimental phase.
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!
bud, its not always about the looks of your desktop environment
100 %
I do not recommend FENDORA at all, there is no way to ask for support, there you only find questions answer to some other people, but I have several days trying to ask a question and there is no way to ask or get registered, terrible support
Both of them better than linux mint?
In general, probably not. Distros like Fedora or Debian are for users who wish to start with a blank canvas and gradually build and tweak. Ubuntu-based distros are designed to be fully functional OOB for most users. Mint's advantage is that it doesn't reflect any kind of agenda regarding the snaps vs native/flatpak debate. You decide. Also, the DE has a more traditional layout that'll appeal to more users.
If you think these have polish, wait till you try Kubuntu LTS 🎉
Fractional scaling and multi monitor? Neither of these work. Since KDE can handle multi monitors properly, it has to be a KDE DE for now. Of these 2 major distros, Fedora 40 has plasma 6, Kubuntu 24.04 LTS doesn't. So Fedora KDE wins - easily. When is gnome EVER going to take this seriously? Gnome looks beautiful. But is unusable if you use multi monitors with different scaling.
To me, this is more of DE comparison than a distro comparison and the funny part is both are GNOME. What's the point?
Ubuntu 24.04 white screen so I'm using fedora
I switched from Ubuntu to Fedora last year and I'm a happier person now. Having tried the two distros, Fedora wins on many aspects.
Is it good for gaming, daily use ? I used Mint & Ubuntu for short periods in the past. Currently i mostly use Win 11 but i am tired of its AI bs and buggy UI/UX.
I need a distro for gaming/programming.
@@johnny2598 "Nobara" Best you will use for gaming and daily use. 2nd- pop os, 3rd- kubuntu
That AI thing on windows drove me into Linux @@johnny2598
@@johnny2598 " need a distro for gaming" I got a steamdeck which runs Linux. I am super happy with the thing. All games work out of the box. You can connect it to the TV or desktop monitor on a dock station.
Is there nothing better to do or show than changing wallpapers all the time
Ubuntu block deb file install press software center....
I prefre Ubntu because I just used to it & because its Debian based
I prefer Kubuntu❤
It is time to leave Ubuntu as I reach the end of my PhD.
Ubuntu with their new App center looks nice but availability of software is very limited. Better is Fedora for sure.
For some reason on my machine ubuntu runs like ASS. Everything is choppy and glitchy. Fedora 40 in the other hand is SMOOTH. This is most likely because I use nvidia and fedora is much more up to date.
Honestly fedora is much less buggy than ubuntu.
Debian 12 > both
Fedora destroys ubuntu on everything. I use Linux for 17 years and I've tested both distros extensively. ubuntu is on a downward spiral.
Disagree - Fedora enables hardware well but doesn't have the polish nor is it as stable as Ubuntu LTS
@@vsandhu84 zero problems with stability. All the polish with kde desktop.
@@doughnut_panda I have both on different PCs. KDE is not for me it just doesn't fit my workflow. I have had Fedora updates that broke my integrated wifi leading me to use a USB dongle then a couple of updates later it is back. Both are good I just find Ubuntu more stable over time especially after ubuntu get those point releases. Ubuntu has been far more snappier for me since 23.10 but I didn't migrate to Ubuntu until 24.04 as a daily driver on my pc (which used to be a Fedora laptop). Personally, I think Ubuntu is back to focusing on the desktop - which they had stopped for a while and led me to switch to Fedora who had started to do good things on the desktop.
@@vsandhu84 I respect your opinion.
@johnny2598 you can honestly never go wrong with Ubuntu. It has the most support. And distro x is not better than distro y, they're just different.
Unbuntu cinnamon I use
How's the experience? Similar to Mint?
@@LinuxTex similar yes but with Ubuntu
Experience is great too like mint but better I use it on my 2011 IMac and also my 2019 Lenovo thinkpad both upgraded to 8GB Ram and SSD runs smooth
@@SK0D3N420 What about Snaps ? I see many complain on it
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.
Linux Mint And Arch Linux
Fedora rules 💪
Es mejor debian 12 😅
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
You probably downloaded an old version of Ubuntu. Ubuntu 24.04 comes with kernel 6.8
@@jpaulostrindade yes he downloaded older version new version with latest kernel workes well
well that's all not very ULTIMATE, is it... it's more like speaking 20 minutes for nothing..And where exactly is the "gaming" part?
Fedora Kde all day. Ubuntu is a joke.
Ubuntu for kids
Fedora for Geeks!
Bonus:
Fedora KDE is Kreat, Kood.
Arch for Gods
@@perugaawd7591If Arch is for gods, I wouldn't want to meet a Gentoo user. What All Powerful deity would be the LFS user
Meanwhile most developers use ubuntu desktop and Ubuntu server.
Only in distrowatch (the running joke) other distro's are used more.
Arch Linux
I am using Fedora because I think is the best distro actually. In my experience Manjaro is better than Ubuntu too.
Fedora, aways
I don't like unbuntu interface is garbage remind me of windows 8 i hate the menu take the full screen and side and top bar unbuntu is garbage fedora all the way you sre unbuntu fan boy
Fedora 10 points Ubuntu 1/2 point !!
ubuntu 24.04 is buggy and crashes a lot specially android studio and filezilla, worst ubuntu version so far
