  • I have never used Fedora, but Debian is very stable, or at least as long as you don’t need to use proprietary Nvidia drivers, since I have occasional desktop freezes with them on KDE Desktop (on Wayland).

    Anyway, if you are new to Linux I’d recommend to use Linux Mint instead of Debian, since it’s much easier to install and use, and it is already built on top of solid base of Ubuntu which itself is Debian-based. It theoretically is not as stable, but realistically you shouldn’t come to any issues.




  • They are both fine. There are two big differences between these two:

    • Debian is community based.
    • Fedora is maintained by both - Red Hat (subsidiary of IBM) and its community (The Fedora Project).

    They also use different package managers (Debian - dpkg/apt, Fedora - rpm) and regular Debian releases are generally considered more stable and ‘outdated’ (but I don’t like that term) since Fedora versions are released much more regularly.
