Ubuntu puts removable devices in /media/$USER but Fedora puts them in /run/media/$USER. Do you know why Fedora does that? It's more logical on Debian-based distros like Ubuntu IMHO. (Is Fedora better at plug-and-play? It doesn't seem to be. I presume they're just making it formal that the devices under media are expected to be temporary)
That's a great question. Each distro is configured differently for a variety of reasons. You might be able to find an answer about this specific difference in a forum dedicated to Fedora - fedoraforum.org/.
