I keep hopping between distros every few months and Fedora is one of the few I consistently come back to.

It feels pretty up to date without being complete chaos, and most things just work for me with less tweaking than I expected.

Curious what made other people settle on Fedora long term instead of Arch, Ubuntu, Mint, etc.

Was it stability, GNOME integration, gaming support, work stuff, or just preference after trying everything else?
