What are the technical differences between Ubuntu and Fedora?
Hi Just a simple question form a new Fedora user. I have tested different Linux distros and settled with Fedora 29. But did not find any major difference (major technical difference) between any.
Yes there are like
- Ubuntu is Debian based and Fedora is Red Hat
- Ubuntu use .deb where fedora use .rpm
- Ubuntu use proprietary packages default, in Fedora use need RPMFusion
- difference between life cycle, Ubuntu LTS and Fedora 13-month support.
- Ubuntu by default root user is disabled and fedora use su
- Ubuntu is supported by Canonical and Fedora is by Red Hat
- Ubuntu is little behind Fedora update package version release cycle.
Some are other
But I didn't think these are the major one. After installing proprietary packages fedora is equal to Ubuntu. Both are running on same kernel code. Then way we have so many version of same Linux in different packages. Then why we are comparing one with other. using different installer does not make any big difference (or can be replaced with flatpack etc.). All distros can be used with different Desktop Environments.
The only big difference is some distros come with few extra packages installed already others are not.
OR I am missing something?
