Why do they have to be the same?  If I wanted what either of those OSes
offer, I would be using them, not Fedora.  I do not understand why my
choices have to be minor variations of each other instead of distinctly
different based on needs.

For work, I use Fedora & Scientific Linux.  I mostly use Fedora for
personal needs; except when I want to play some specific games, I use
Windows.  And I own an old Android phone.

These are distinct tasks with different needs, where is the need for
them to be variations of each other?
