Ubuntu problems and potential workarounds and alternative distros

As a developer who needs to get hands on linux for development and ML workflows

I know ubuntu is a common option in terms of software compatibility for IDEs, Data Science/ML libs, etc...

But every time I'm trying to upgrade/update some stuff on Ubuntu (I've just tried 22 LTS) or even upgrade from 22 LTS to 24 LTS, it ends up each time with a total system failure due to package conflicts and a white screen + formatting the whole partition and starting over!

enter image description here

So I'd like to know if moving to Fedora could mean far more stability and robustness, or there's something I'm doing wrong?

Each time I just formatted the partition and started over trying to do it better next time.I think Ubuntu may not be the best thing in terms of robustness

So if somebody has similar experiences and what did workarounds did you perform for this?
