From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If anything shouldn't Ubuntu not work? Fedora runs the regular kernel while Ubuntu runs the Ubuntu kernel

In my experience, ubuntu seems to support a few more wifi cards OOTB. And for me that is an essential feature - I don't want to deal with getting the network up without access to the internet. I still experience Fedora to be smoother as a desktop though.
