different_base,

Not OP, but my reasons for choosing Fedora is, it just works. I use the Atomic version of it which is an image based operating system. Installing packages or updates does not leave the system unstable. I can simply rollback to previous version. Also Fedora pushes entire Linux community forward by adopting potential technologies like Flatpak, PipeWire, Wayland etc earlier compared to other distros.

(I also run NixOS which I believe has more potential and solves many problems than Fedora).

Having said that there are two downsides to Fedora.

  • Fedora is closely associated with Red Hat. I wish it is purely community driven.
  • Fedora does not offer LTS kernels (Maybe it would threaten Red Hat, if Fedora is too stable).
