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?

The main things I don't like are when random stuff is broken.

This doesn't happen that much on my Kubuntu laptop, but it did happen on Ubuntu Studio, which had a combination of Wayland and NVIDIA drivers.

In my upcoming project I plan to use the KDE big screen interface, so I would prefer to get the most up-to-date and most tested packages, so unfortunately that leaves out Debian.

    Most up-to-date and most tested are opposites.

    Exactly. That's why I'm not using Debian in this situation. I'm thinking that fedora will strike a better balance for what I'm trying to achieve.

    I don't want the most bleeding edge KDE neon rolling release distribution because that's hardly tested at all.
