Question Fedora or Ubuntu?

guys, i hear that fedora is for windows users trying to use linux. so its like windows but a bit different

this is all i really wanted, i didn't know that on ubuntu in order to install something you needed to put in a bunch of lines of code and hope it works...

i would like to know if fedora is as easy as they say, i don't mind doing a bit of that but i'd hate something like slackware

so, ubuntu or slackware? which one is easier for the windows user going to linux?

Never really got that far. All I ended up using it for was internet usage.

yeah that one too, as long as you just click and install thats all i want....

i actually like all the codes you can put in to customize, but if it had an auto-installer it would be ALOT more popular
