Fedora is not Debian based, but an upstream or 'sidestream' distribution of CentOS, based on the RPM package manager.

I'd say basically any distribution is a good starting point. Eventually after distrohopping you'll settle on one or two distributions which work for you.

I have Debian on my servers, Arch on my desktop (for games) and Fedora on my laptop.

I know perfectly Fedora is not Debian... xD and I use Ubuntu or CentOS Stream 8/9 (I like more rolling releases distros) for servers and only Arch based for my personal computers or even on my Raspberry Pi.

I was saying, if you want something stable, Debian based sounds easy as Fedora has some security policy that can make it hard to do certain stuff. If you want a nice gaming desktop, Manjaro makes it easy to install all you need or even install custom kernels with Steam support.

Okay, but

I don’t see anything special on Fedora or any other Debian based distros

makes it sound like Fedora is one of the Debian based distributions, which is why I wanted to make that clear for others.

Okay, sorry, I talk like everyone knows this.
