@viv@toot.site just installed Fedora for the first time a few months ago (only been through the 30 to 31 rebase). I had heard on some podcast that it offered better default protections than Ubuntu, so I thought I would try it out.
I ran Gentoo for a number of years, before work ate my life, and it was quite the learning experience. Nothing fosters learning like bricking and then recovering your system every month when you remember to update!
