Well, I prefer Arch, but a major factor in that preference is the fact that some software I rely on for my work is very hard to find on other distributions and that creates unnecessary hassle for me.
Fedora and Debian/Ubuntu are both pretty solid choices for a base OS, but Fedora might be more robust in the long run.
Fedora is not really a community distro, the way Debian is.
Fedora is also one of the most US-cocksucking distros of the bunch, what with being RedHat-derivative.
It's not a Red Hat derivative. It's upstream of Red Hat.
In a way Fedora is like interim Ubuntu releases, CentOS Stream is like LTS Ubuntu releases, and RHEL is like Ubuntu Pro. So if you want to stay away from a US company, Fedora isn't a great idea.
