It is also first in the Distrowatch rank

I distro hopped to it from Bazzite a couple of months ago, and I could not be happier.

If you try the installer, be careful when selecting multiples DE/WM as the conflicts were not listed anywhere for the installation process.

Picking a single environment and then adding the others later was what worked for me.

All of the recent gaming focused distros felt this way to me, it's why I'm sticking with good old tried and tested vanilla Fedora with OpenSUSE as my backup option if RedHat ever fucks it up. I don't want a toy to play with but a tool that just works and that I don't have to think about and that's exactly what Fedora is.
