I've been using Debian-based distros most of my adult Linux life, but I read recently that KDE has a better experience on Fedora than Kubuntu, so I want to try it out.

I already know that I won't be able to use apt, but what other differences should I expect with fedora?

The do not have an LTS release? What is upgrading like? When should you upgrade if you want stability?

I usually wait for a month or two before upgrading to the latest version, but haven't had any troubles.

First thing I do is enable rpm nonfree per this documentation
https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration

And the second is to switch to ffmpeg and add some HAC as per this documentation

If you run an newer Nvidia card you might wanna grab some drivers too, see
