Ubuntu and Fedora are two distributions of Linux that are being distributed for free as open source software. Fedora is a very popular linux distribution for desktops but it has been superseded by the meteoric rise of Ubuntu due to its user friendly interfaces. Ubuntu aims to make it easier for ordinary PC users to switch to a Linux based system with minimal problems. Ubuntu also minimizes the need for typing into a command prompt and moves the majority of operations into a graphical interface like the Synaptic package manager.

Although they are both linux, they are fundamentally different because they are based on different distributions. Ubuntu was derived from Debian while Fedora is an offshoot of Red Hat. Since they are based on different distributions, they also adapt the packages that those distributions use.
