I've been using fedora for the last year and a half and been enjoying it much more then when I gave it a try 9 years ago.

Not only did it get much needed improvements everywhere, but software availability has improved by a lot. The official repos has more software available than it used to and flatpak helps compliment it a bunch. But what sealed the deal was using distrobox to easily create containers based on any popular distros that integrate almost seamlessly with your user/session. There are gotchas and it's not meant for more casual users, but you can have pretty much any software available from other distros to supplant missing stuff on fedora.

Also RPM Fusion helps easily skirt over any copyright restricted software. It's fairly easy to install the full set of hardware accelerated video codecs for your hardware this way.
