Ubuntu vs Fedora SHOWDOWN

Time for the 2 biggest distros to duke it out. First we see what Ubuntu has to offer...

Ubuntu:

- Minimize button
- Visible dock
- Faster software store load
- Not having to update repositories every time you install something from the command line
- Bearable theme
- Better name
- LTS
- Nicer font rendering

Now what can fedora do to compete with that...

Fedora

- 32 bits apps
- no Snap


Throw in any thing else I missed in the comments. And yes, defaults matter!

How to learn more about BIOS and grub

I know what it is at a high level, but when it comes to actual configuration and entering commands, but it doesn't seem very user friendly. I want to understand what goes on before linux start loading up. Any help?

Deleted windows partition

Some of you are most likely happy I deleted my windows partition on my main PC. I have mixed feelings. I did it in a drunken stuper, always had a dual boot. at least I have my USB wifi adapter running. I made the decision because I mainly play games on my ps4 and not my PC and enjoy the freeness and openness of Linux on that I can eff around with it willingly.

Can someone make me feel better about my decision?

(No distro shaming please!)

I've been using Linux for almost a year now, and haven't managed to set up anything slightly advanced so far.

My brother tried to get me into Linux (Ubuntu to be specific) for years now, and since he didn't need his old Laptop anymore, he gave it to me for University and work. A lot of things were already set up, so I didn't really need to do anything to get it working in the first place! I had to change out quite a bit of hardware, but the software is basically the same as it was a year ago.

The thing is, I've thought about doing some modifications or random things like installing programs via Wine or setting up a dual boot environment, but have never managed to get it working and gave up relatively quickly, obviously leaving some "trash" behind because of the failed attempts. In the end I'll just say "Eh nevermind, better stop before I completely destroy everything", close everything related to it and move on. I am just starting to feel like Linux might not be the right OS for me! This wouldn't be a huge issue, but I am most likely going to study something IT related, and I feel like I should start getting into it soon.

Not looking for any particular advice here, just wanted to hear some opinions on it! If this isn't the right sub for discussions or stuff, I'll gladly post it somewhere else! =)

Edit: Thanks for all the kind comments!

Winboot - A shell noscript that reboots directly into Windows from your Linux session, without having to select it from the grub menu. For all those times you forget to do it and your grub timer runs out. [UPDATED]

Flatpak or Snap in general without an in depth comparison??

I would like to know your opinion on either you prefer flatpak or snap in general without an in depth comparison between the two which is already available online and is really not understandable...
