Chose Fedora Linux
I prefer Fedora over Debian because Fedora tends to be more up to date. When compared to Ubuntu, Fedora is nice as it doesn't use snap, and remains open. When I tried Kubuntu, I found the distro to be a bit too unstable for my liking.

Chose Fedora Linux
The flavor of Fedora Linux comes down to the projects needs. Fedora Linux offers a focus on security which should be more for enterprise related projects, whereas Ubuntu is used more for smaller projects like small businesses.
Chose Fedora Linux
We are an all-CentOS-shop, but we've done a number of things with Ubuntu and Fedora. Most of the production CentOS machines are only there because prior to that Fedora helped to blaze the trail to get there. It's been a very good platform for testing our new ideas. Ubuntu is …

For experimental use, test lab situations, or very special-purpose tasks, Fedora [Linux] is an excellent choice.

Cons
Open Source
  • Stability. It's good, but it's not anything like CentOS for stability
  • End-user usability. It has a few glaring holes here and there with UI/UX

The desktop environments are all well configured out of the box. The software selection is useful, but not bloated. With flatpak integration, getting the latest software is easy.
