I've run Debian | I've run Debian since the mid 90s. I started running Ubuntu a few years ago for an easier to maintain desktop, including 9.10. I decided to try Fedora due to some problems on [[Thinkpad T400S | my notebook]] running Ubuntu. I used to compile kernels and a lot of software, but I don't want to now unless I must due to the time overhead and advantages of maintained packages, but I do want to find an OS that can be truly mainstream without losing the low level features. | ||
Ubuntu has many more packages available. This makes setup much easier in many cases. After an install, the system is much more complete, with things like spellcheck working out of the box. Ubuntu has very nice accomodation for multimedia codecs, in most cases within an application you can install a system package to provide functionality. With Fedora, you have to track it all down. | Ubuntu has many more packages available. This makes setup much easier in many cases.
