That's really interesting. A problem I've been having with Ubuntu is just quirky things with bluetooth devices and a monitor that doesn't always get recognized when waking the pc up from sleep. In your experience, does Fedora handle these better than Ubuntu?

I've been using Fedora since 2011, haven't had any monitor or bluetooth issues. Originally had a wifi issue when I first got a Ryzen computer, but it was solved fairly easily and haven't had an issue since. The upgrade from 42 to 43 borked my local postgres, but it seems that they understand what their mistake was there. edit: I use it on a thinkpad, ymmv

This is literally why we suggest Fedora. Bluetooth sucks on Debian-family because the kernel is from 2024... Fedora's kernel is from 3 months ago. Anyway, enjoy Fedora. Fedora is so good, I won't call it Linux.

  There's always been backports in Debian if you needed more recent software than what is available on the stable branch

    So you have to use terminal and have some unsupported software.... Yeah I'll take Fedora. Debian is great for servers, why are you using it for desktop?

    Okay thats nice, but I actually lived through this and its not always this nice. When you can't run your Nvidia 3060 because the kernel was outdated, you don't really bother with outdated linux anymore. Do you think we are just making this stuff up? All these comments about bluetooth not working. Bugs not fixed. Having to do surgery with the terminal to get stuff working... We are just making stuff up? Buddy, I would have loved if outdated linux worked.
