Fedora gets kernel and Mesa (graphics driver) updates roughly as fast as Arch, whereas IIRC Ubuntu freezes them for a release, or at least doesn't update them quickly.

That can also be a downside though, if you're using proprietary hardware drivers.

No "snap" pollution in the home directory.

Package naming conventions are better, IMO (this is a small thing to be fair, normally you'd just do a search, but the names are much more consistent and guessable on Fedora/Red Hat based distros in my experience)




If you can use DKMS for your proprietary drivers then the downsides of the quick updates go away, in my experience
