Apples and oranges : Ubuntu is a commercial endeavour with a huge entreprise desktop and server base (not unlike redhat), while Fedora is the testing grounds, community-side of said redhat, so inherently not made for IRL work.

I’m pretty sure a lot of people use Fedora for work (I do, on my Asahi macbook), but if you are a business you probably won’t, as you’ll look for something with available customer support.

All other merits and demerits enunciated here are valid, but the true difference is in their target audience.

Yup. Lightweight, Rigid, and Classy.

The “s” suffix is for Slim, which you don’t really need if it’s used at a desk in a fixed position. S series generally are lighter, slimmer (eh) and harder to repair / more fragile. That said, when careful, these are slim, elegant professional machines with excellent Linux support.

I’m daily driving my M2 mbp these days - smooth fedora experience, superior sound and screen, good battery life. I hope it comes soon to your machine!
