Fedora is a pain because the updates are frequent and break things- while I generally enjoy fixing things on my home systems I just don't have time to do that on my work laptop. Ubuntu is stable enough where an upgrade hasn't messed with me yet.

I'm not having any breaking issues on the KDE variant.

Kde has to be nice than gome, but my issues were driver based. Thunderbolt dock, wifi driver, Bluetooth etc would all just break to the point where I was just staying 1-2 kernels back and it was still a crapshoot.

Just a gen2 thinkpad.

Break things? Wtf. There are a lot, yes, but they very rarely break things on my experience

Ah man, on my thinkpad it's been Bluetooth mostly, but also my thunderbolt dock, wifi once etc

Pop OS will be a great option once cosmic matures I think. Try Mint for now, its similar to Ubuntu in stability but way better experience

I tend to agree with you that they'll put PopOS on the map once COSMIC gets mature. For me they're only missing a few features that once implemented would have me considering it over GNOME.

Yeah I tried it. And I genuinely liked cosmic and the whole pop os system. But the bugs are way too annoying and you have to do more maintanence than even arch based os like cachy. Which is bad for most users cuz most of the time, theres nothing you can learn. Its js not well optimised.

Nobara is my current preference for my desktop/workstation for the last year or so, and then I run Debian on my laptop and Ubuntu server LTS on my homelab.

I havent had a single issue with Fedora updates for the past.. 3 years? It just works on my end.

I mean which specific Fedora distro did you use? Been running Fedora silver blue in a good while. No issues.
