That's Fedora, its a bleeding edge experimental distro when it comes to the desktop at least. Ubuntu has become really popular because it is stable and reliable

  However these days its much easier to run a linux desktop on a system that comes with it, some of these laptops have driver issues where they can work but then can run into things like thermal and display issues due to closed code with very complex non-standard low level drivers.

  While Ubuntu is a great distro to get things up and running, a lot of their decision making around snap has begun to make me hesitant to recommend it to people. While there is the political/open source angle in regards to how they are handling the servers for snap, my main issue is primarily the stability. Randomly I'll install something with apt and it will not give me an apt package, it will give me a non-standard snap package that becomes difficult to troubleshoot. In the case of firefox, it basically makes it less stable than a nightly build considering how often it crashes, and subtly breaks screen sharing in weird non-obvious ways. This experience has me guessing that Canonical probably cares more about server Ubuntu now than it does about desktop Ubuntu, which is a real shame. While there are workarounds, I specifically endorsed Ubuntu in the first place to many people because these kinds of workarounds used to not be necessary. It's a real bummer honestly, not sure what else to recommend in this category either.
