Considering switching away from Fedora and to another distribution. Does anyone have any suggestions for distributions I should consider?
Linux Mint: Debian Edition. After watching a YouTube review I decided to take a break from Arch and give it a try, I’d always like Cinnamon, and I really like this.
Cinnamon, last I tried it, has a bug which causes it to run games with compositing enabled. The setting that’s supposed to disable it for games, only works until the next boot.
PoP_OS MX Linux LMDE

EndeavourOS with KDE
Same systems as vanilla arch for packaging such as pacman and AUR
Archwiki instruction work without modification
Great forum community without the incessant RTFM
I’m pretty happy on Ultramarine. Its like Fedora but with more repos by default, media drivers, more DE options, and a bunch of more reasonable defaults for daily all-purpose use.
Void. I like xbps, and I prefer distros that make as few assumptions as possible.
Ubuntu. It Debian without the driver issues.
Everyone immediately want you to use their distribution of choice. However no-one can really answer this unless you include more information about yourself and your Linux experience, objectives, what kind of tinkering you’re comfortable with, what you expectations are, etc.
The best answer IMO is always Linux Mint when people ask these kind of questions.
Arch on my main pc, and Ubuntu on my server, only reason it’s Ubuntu is I needed 6.2 kernel for my Intel arc encoding card and debian based for the arrs
Nixos. Can’t even fathom going back to anything after getting to grips with it
Arch, btw. With GNOME.
Seconded
Linux Mint Cinnamon. Seriously, it’s the best. Fast, light, Ubuntu based, stable, good looking, full featured. All the power of Ubuntu without the downsides (snaps, heavy, slow etc)
Artix
EndeavourOS with KDE customized to my liking.
For me it’s tumbleweed at the moment it’s defaults like btrfs and snapper are how I used to setup fedora. Then there’s the tools like OBS and yast that are super useful it’s rolling but well tested before it gets to you
