I am a long-time Ubuntu user who switched from Ubuntu 22.04 to Fedora 36 because I have a 12th gen Intel CPU and read that the newer kernels it offers supported the P/E cores better.

I have to say that I am very impressed with Fedora. Defaults to nice Noto fonts, everything feels cleaner/snappier, no snaps, and the only downside was I had to follow these instructions to get the NVIDIA drivers - which wasn't that bad... https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA

I was also pleasantly surprised that all of my usual tools (python3, node, etc.) seemed to either already by there or were a dnf install away - and that gave me the versions I wanted/expected...

I was thinking I'd go back to Ubuntu when a new version dropped with a new kernel that supported the modern Intel processors - but now I think I am going to stay...

I did the exact same thing (i5-1240p in a Framework laptop).

A few of the recent kernels borked my graphics (integrated), so I stuck on 5.19.8 for a bit. The latest kernel seems good again now though.

I find the vanilla gnome setup in Fedora a bit more polished as well. I install dash-to-dock via the new Extension Manager app and I'm good to go.
