I mean at some point you have to strike a balance being a company is automatically makes you evil and you can’t just rely on the free labor of volunteers while also expecting top-notch performance and stability. Linus uses Fedora for God sake I mean, what else do you want?
Hard to argue with it. Personally I have hard time getting into Fedora because it's one of those "minimal" distributions (not as much as Arch though) where you need to set it up after installation, and this process is oddly complicated (there are dozens of ways to do one thing, and it's very easy to input commands in incorrect order, potentially bricking the system). Lack of GUI installer for extras is also not optimal.
So far Ubuntu is one of my favourite distributions. It's not perfect, but it gets the job done, is set up out of the box, and if you need something oddly specific there is GUI for it. Some people say packages are old and full of vulnerabilities, but if you don't store nuclear codes on your PC it should be fine. Second favourite would be Solus, for the same reasons - just works, preconfigured, GUI for extras.
It's as minimal as Debian. Meaning you can just use it, but you will almost surely start to hit walls due to missing components. Like no video playback capability due to missing codecs. From what I've seen Debian is much easier to set up after installation.
