An Overview of Ubuntu and Fedora

Both Ubuntu and Fedora are Linux distributions. Ubuntu is developed by Canonical Ltd. and is based on Debian while Fedora is developed by  Fedora Project which is sponsored by Red Hat. Both operating systems are free and open-source software. Now that you have read the introduction to the OS let’s move on to the comparison of Ubuntu and Fedora.


Latest technology integration: When it comes to the latest technology Fedora is unmatched. Although Ubuntu also strives to integrate latest technology, Fedora is just faster at it. Fedora claims to be a bleeding-edge operating system. It means that it provides frequent changes as technology progresses which might have some downfalls as explained later.

Stability: When it comes to stability Ubuntu is more stable than Fedora and the reason for that is the priorities of the two organizations. As mentioned above Fedora is an operating system that aims to provide you with the newest software faster than others. Contrary to which Ubuntu aims for stability. That is the reason why Ubuntu falls a bit behind in providing such technology as before any such update is released the developers make sure that it is totally stable, and they take their time in doing so. However, it doesn’t mean that Fedora is unstable. It is just that since it has to provide updates faster sometimes it may have bugs.

Frequency of updates: Fedora has more frequent updates than Ubuntu. This feature has its pros and cons. The advantage that you get from frequent updates is that you get the latest stuff and the disadvantage is that you get a system that is constantly changing, and you must adapt to that. Therefore, it is not suitable for purposes that require consistency such as for server purposes for which you might prefer Ubuntu.

Ease of Use: Although both OS are very user-friendly, there are some things that you will find easier to do on Ubuntu than Fedora such as downloading proprietary software.
