Fedora is security? I mean, don't get me wrong, I love it, it's my daily driver after trying just about every distro under the sun, but I would've figured something like Qubes would stand head and shoulders above it.

i would say fedora is the "security distro for every day people" kind of distro

OpenSUSE is the "all of the above" of Linux distros
That's what I expect when it gets labelled as Germany
It is? I had tumbleweed installed and switched to fedora after only a few weeks because it kept freezing.
Weird. I promptly tried Fedora and switched to Tumbleweed after Fedora kept crashing soon after startup. Hardware configuration probably affects the outcome a lot.

I, uh, use Kubuntu LTS (--minimal-install, so no snap).
Are *buntu flavors risky for my workstation? Should I be considering Fedora?
Are *buntu flavors risky for my workstation? Should I be considering Fedora?
Why would they be risky? O.o They're the preferred workstation setup at my place because Ubuntu is spread enough that it can be relied upon to be the distro admins have the most experience with (which is a self-perpetuating thing, I am aware).
Qubes is the actuall security distro tho.
How slow is qubes? I imagine that virtualising everything is slow. Does it have a containerised mode?
As slow as you expect, at least on anything that requires gpu such as watching videos

More accurate i would describe Fedora is:
Adopting Modern features first(Wayland,pipewire,etc Like there is no x mode in most stable Wayland desktops) and only having free and open source Repos(Rpmfusion can be added but its not official and excludes the Kernel drivers).
I think, a more serious attempt to summarize openSUSE would probably be: Functionality
Debian, Arch, Fedora and such are all weirdly similar in that they focus so much on minimalism. For example, Debian uses dash as the default shell, which breaks TTYs, but possibly squeezes out a tiny bit of performance, so I guess, that's worth it...?
