Both Ubuntu Focal Fossa and Fedora 32 released in the same time April this year. They are two operating systems from different families namely Debian and Red Hat. One of their most interesting things in common is the arrival of computer companies like Dell and Star Labs (and Lenovo's coming) that sell special preinstalled laptops and PCs. I make this summary to remind myself and inform you all growth of these great operating systems. Enjoy!

The Happy News
My inspiration to write this comparison is Coming soon: Fedora on Lenovo a good news from Fedora Magazine. Following that, Ubuntu recently informs the availability of Dell XPS + Ubuntu 20.04 laptops. Thanks to these big news, we all excited to welcome and celebrate both Ubuntu and Fedora coming into mainstream computing worldwide - where most users meet their operating systems by purchasing computers. I also made a special article about this you can read.
(The big news from both websites Fedora and Canonical)
Now more computer vendors selling both Ubuntu 20.04 and Fedora 32 laptops as we already can see companies from the UK and Netherland, Star Labs and LaptopWithLinux, now ship their LabTop and Clevo laptops worldwide with Ubuntu and/or Fedora. Of course this is another big news for us all and we are excited to see more good things happen soon.
