I recently switched from Windows to Ubuntu after 10 years, and I found the installation process pretty easy. I've been customizing it with extensions and it's running smoothly. However, I've heard that Fedora KDE is more customizable and user-friendly. I'm wondering how I can download and install Fedora now. Do I need to remove Ubuntu first, and is downloading Fedora even a good idea?

If you’ve already made a partition on your drive and created a USB for Ubuntu, you’re on the right track! If you choose to install different distros, you won't need a unique USB for each one if you create partitions instead. Just be careful about your drive management!
There are several ways to explore new distros. You can boot from a live image using USB, which is easy if you use Ventoy for multiple ISOs. Creating separate partitions for each distro gives the best experience, but it's more complex. You could also overwrite Ubuntu with another distro if you want to simplify things.
Have you considered using a virtual machine? I suggest installing a program called Boxes on your Ubuntu setup. This way, you can try out as many different distros as you like without losing your current settings or making any permanent changes.
If you're looking to use KDE, you might want to check out Kubuntu instead of Fedora. It's quite similar to Ubuntu and pretty straightforward to install. Just go for the latest version, 25.10! No need to uninstall Ubuntu first unless you really want to.
