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?

Better in what way? What are you unsatisfied with?

I use KDE on Debian and I have zero complaints.

The main things I don't like are when random stuff is broken.

This doesn't happen that much on my Kubuntu laptop, but it did happen on Ubuntu Studio, which had a combination of Wayland and NVIDIA drivers.

In my upcoming project I plan to use the KDE big screen interface, so I would prefer to get the most up-to-date and most tested packages, so unfortunately that leaves out Debian.

Most up-to-date and most tested are opposites.

Exactly. That's why I'm not using Debian in this situation. I'm thinking that fedora will strike a better balance for what I'm trying to achieve.

I don't want the most bleeding edge KDE neon rolling release distribution because that's hardly tested at all.
