What should I expect switching to Fedora? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

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 did a similar change years ago, the Fedora KDE. I've been maintaining a script of things I install on a fresh install.

Helped me get better writing bash. But feel free to use it.

    Thank you for this! I'm going to use it as a handy checklist of things to configure, beyond what the RPMFusion wiki said to do.

    I think a lot of these I will not need for my hardware, or wait to cross that bridge if I need to. But, one thing I thought was strange that the installer did not configure was hostname. So I'll definitely copy what you did:

    hostnamectl set-hostname "$HOSTNAME_SHORT"  
hostnamectl set-hostname "$HOSTNAME_PRETTY" --pretty

    (might need sudo).

    Thanks!
