I'm done arguing. Not gonna respond to whatever fedora fanboy nonsense to follow.
Ubuntu holds around 30 percent of the Linux desktop market. Fedora sits around 1 to 2 percent. Ubuntu focuses on Long Term Support stability, massive community documentation, seamless hardware driver support, and minimizing breakage for new users. Fedora deliberately pushes bleeding-edge kernels, experimental libraries, and rapid changes that regularly introduce breakage. Beginners do not need the newest kernel version or experimental features. They need stability, predictability, easy troubleshooting, and access to a massive community when things go wrong. Fedora is excellent for intermediate users who know how to fix their own problems. It is irresponsible to recommend a testing ground distro to someone who is still learning how to use the terminal.
If Fedora were actually a good beginner distro, it would dominate beginner spaces like r/linux4noobs, It does not. Fedora is respected, but it is not designed for beginners. Even Fedora's own documentation assumes technical competence that a first-time Linux user will not have.
It is objectively not a good distro for beginners. Not even Fedora thinks it's a good distro for beginners. Your arguments make no sense. I certainly don't care to hear anymore of them.
Good day.
It is ok to admit you are wrong. Fedora wasn't always the project it is today and at one point it was purely for testing. I get the impression that you've either never used Fedora or haven't used it in a very long time.

Not everyone needs the latest stable of everything. That's ok but I also didn't just list Fedora. It is just a option to consider if you want a up to date system that's well tested.
Jesus Christ, your obnoxious.
