If I were forced to use linux on my desktop, then I'd definitely go for Fedora Workstation, it feels like a very premium and polished product, at least on surface level, it does fall apart rather quickly when you realize how botched it's flatpak pre-installation is and that you have to add the flathub repo yourself still, and that the reports of fedora shipping vanilla software is fake when you see them ricing firefox and also adding bookmarks and shit to it, it's rpmfusion and codec issue is just unacceptable, figure it the fuck out, you are not even a commercial distro, just fucking allow the user to add ALL the proprietary codecs out of the box like Ubuntu does, even if you store it in a technically """unofficial""" third party repo, who gives a fuck, you are not shipping it directly. It's also got the same issues that any relatively vanilla gnome shipping distro does, it's not usable due to how unfinished and limited the ecosystem feels, yet it's also the best option since GTK/GNOME ecosystem has the most apps and third party apps in linux, and is the only reliable and relatively secure one. It also doesn't even set up btrfs with snapshots, so what's the point? Just use ext4 then, not even RHEL uses btrfs. Linux is just such a fucking mess. Ubuntu LTS would be the better option if they didn't advertise Ubuntu Pro in terminal and Software Updater, it does everything Fedora does better, except that it's more conservative and less likely to use testy or shit that's not ready yet.
Windows, as stagnant as it has gotten, is still miles better than anything else because it was written by people who actually cared and were intelligent and capable. Most of the foundation is strong. Linux is sadly rotten outside the kernel.
