i never did try fedora, i tried all debian stuff, and figured--well 've learned so much already, i might as well continue this path!
It's like Debian but more bleeding-edge and uses rpms instead of debs. Also dnf is better than apt.
It really depends on what your overall goal is. If you just want to use Linux for yourself then any of the debian/ubuntu spins are good. If you want to use Linux professionally then its good to be familiar with a Redhat based Linux (ex. Fedora).
Many large enterprises use RedHat or Fedora for their DC/Workstations. Some use Debian bases (ubuntu) but I have not seen that often.
If you want it to "just work" and not have to mess with things as much then Ubuntu or similar are easy since there is a large "user" community behind it and the other spins. You can almost always find a .deb package for whatever you want to install which you might not be able to find a .rpm package if you are on a RH base.
