Had to face the music and make the jump from Ubuntu 22.04 to Fedora 36. Am I have to say it’s been night and day so far. Everything is snappier. Yeah dnf is very slow in comparison to apt but there’s changes you can make to speed things up and the nifty terminal interface is a great change and helps to make up for the speed issues.

Came with Python 3.10 installed, Gnome and gtk4 apps are nice, fluid and up to date and the random slowdowns, freezing and restarts of Ubuntu running the version of Gnome are nonexistent.

For the life of me I can’t see why Ubuntu would drop the ball like this. I have a Dell XPS 13 developer edition and this is the best it’s ever ran. Even wifi connectivity is better despite of the crap WiFi card that ships with this machine.

I want to love this version and while it is the most graphical appealing and functional version of Ubuntu I’ve ever used. The memory management issues make it damn near unusable.

    I don't understand how ubuntu is so praised, it is literally one of the worst 'distros' i've ever tried.

    @zlice yeah I think they wanted to do too much too soon and the reality kinda hit them. They should have maybe started off catering to devs then branch out from there.

    Rumor had it after they failed to see Ubuntu mobile and a unified desktop materialize, they wanted to position themselves for a acquisition but then that never happened either. So now the focus is on Ubuntu Server which is still pretty rock solid.

    @jonas-w I think it might be due in part to their server offerings. Back in the day the server and desktop were pretty similar, but with the latest update and the memory module they’ve introduced in the desktop version it’s all falling apart.

    I thought Ubuntu is snappier of the two but Fedora is flatpakier.

    @momad I’ve notice that it does the database thing but I don’t really mind that either. But I did change the number of parallel downloads it can do to about 6 so it’s much better now.

    Plus as I said. The interface makes up for it. I like that I don’t have to decipher what it’s doing every single time I run a command.
