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’m not quite sure what the differences between Aurora and Bazzite are, besides pre-installed Steam.

What else is important do you think? Are there reasons beside gaming to choose Bazzite?

As an aside, most websites for Linux distros have utterly meaningless and interchangeable descriptions on their websites: user friendly, powerful, etc.

There's just basically different RPM OSTree package choice's fattened into their images.

So no worrying about packages being layered, causing slower update process/rollback/version-upgrade issues.

And I think things like in-image lutris/steam has less performance loss/integration issues (like Steam VR usage vs flatpak).
