I am new to Linux, but heard good things about Fedora Linux. I am comparing Ultramarine Linux with Fedora Workstation. I am running the Distros on two different HP desktops. So far, UM Linux has the advantage. The Pros are easy installation, RPM and Flathub installed automatically, fast, stable, and seems secure. I am running Brave and Firefox browsers, Darktable, IDLE3 and VScodium programming environments, and Xboard(my chess game to practice for chess.com). The only difference between the two desktops is the amount of memory, 4GB versus 8GB. I hope to make one of the Distros a daily driver on the 8GB HP desktop.

Cons: None so far.

Overall impression: I like Ultramarine and Fedora. I am too new to make a recommendation, but as it stand, I favor Ultramarine Linux!

Thank you DistroWatch and Ultramarine!

Easy to use as a fedora fan, but on some hardware I would lose the pointer.
love the Budgie and Pantheon desktops which worked well, along with the pre-installed non free rpms but it hasn't made me want to swap from fedora full time
if you are new to linux or want to try the stability of fedora then this is a good starting ponit, and I don't think you will not be disappointed. It uses the installer as fedora, so easy to go through and setup. though as many are saying somewhat dated now.
Overall a great distro that I will keep on the system I tested it on. and will see what happens when I upgrade it to 37.

I absolutely Love Ultramarine with the ("flagship") Budgie desktop. It installed flawlessly and there are few things I'd change. I'd have folders sort before files, I'd have thought that obvious. I've been through settings and they are a nice mix. They need to add a lot more wallpaper, but functionally it's flawless. The stability of Fedora with the coolness of a budgie desktop. Only its newness and lack of bells and whistles give it a "9," otherwise, "10." Also the start menu needs to be better sorted in categories. Version 38 will probably catch all of this. Very well done.
