Home PC has been on Fedora for 10 years - have hardware raid and everytime a HDD dies just slide a new one in and rebuild the raid array. Have done in place upgrade between 10 and 20 times of fedora version.

Work laptop is Ubuntu 18.04.

Virtual work desktop is effectively RHEL.

They all “just work”.

I don’t get too worked up about distros. Main thing is that there are enterprise, server distros and then there are client centric distros but for an individual user use case - they all just work.

Yeah--I'd been running Fedora since 2003 (Fedora Core 1) on my home laptop until last month. I've run every version of Fedora through 34 (current).

This new laptop I just bought has hardware that Fedora is having trouble with--nvidia GTX 3060, DisplayPort to a nice 38" monitor, and new/wacky wifi chip that Fedora just does not see. I had solved all issues except the wifi, and ran into some software (application) issues. I decided to just go back to the OS that came on this--Pop!_OS. Works fine. I just had to tweak it to get it to how I work.
