I actually just slicked the SSD and replaced Fedora with Linux Mint on my personal machine last night for those types of reasons... annoying dnfdragora popups and weird behavior, failed firmware flashes via the GUI utility, mediocre battery life (even with TLP installed), and sluggish performance compared to what I was used to in other distros (admittedly with lighter-weight DEs than the Gnome default). Fedora isn't _bad_ by any means but it certainly feels like a more bleeding-edge experience than I need. I was actually using it mostly so that I could keep a certain level of parity between my work (RHEL/OEL) and personal environments but now that my professional workloads run on k8s and I have a Mac as my daily work driver this is less of a consideration.
