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 was using Fedora because someone recommended it, and the rolling release model broke stuff for me multiple times so I am no longer using it (liking release models specifically based on Debian more).

I thought rolling release was like arch where you are always on the bleeding edge, bit Fedora has releases every 6 months. Is that not what it means?

I'm not 100% on this but it just upgrades to the next release which would be a dist upgrade on Debian I think. Too far away from that currently so apologies if incorrect.

The fact remained, it broke my setup several times, which Debian based distros never did. But I am based to Debian anyway (but for good reason as the package management is the best / working it in data centers for decades - but let's not go into that).
