I have ubuntu on my personal laptop (freelance work) and fedora on my work laptop. Work laptop had a problem with a broken kernel delivered. I also always lag one major fedora version behind for safety, which goes against the philosophy, but this is mostly because gnome api for plugins is highly unstable and I really depend on some of those to do my work. I wish I went with KDE. On the personal laptop I use Kubuntu (ubuntu with KDE). The UI has been consistent and stable, for mostly 6 years. I love that aspect. Yesterday I upgraded it and I got a broken kernel (panic on boot). Overall I faced the same issues across the two in 6 years (ubuntu) and 2 years (fedora). With Fedora I have the latest software usually, which is a blessing or a curse. With ubuntu i have slightly outdated software, which is a blessing or a curse. I like both distro, I'm also used at the rough edges of desktop linux. Thinkpads seems to work out of the box with Fedora. The Ubuntu laptop is a system76 laptop, before popos was a thing.
