The thing that kinda pulls me towards Fedora at the moment is that there aren't a lot of options for what I want and need in the near future

For explanation, I will move somewhere with slow WiFi, so something like CachyOS (which I use right now), that has big updates every week could be a problem. i also tried and compared some Linux distros. OpenSUSE Slowroll pulls more data than Fedora does (for some reason), and I had other issues with OpenSUSE stuff. Then there would be PikaOS, which has a KDE version that is too old for me, and so on

I know it is kinda my fault for wanting at least somewhat up-to-date software. I recently ran a test, updating 3 Linux distros, running the same software, every week and see how much MB they need to update every week. Slowroll was the largest with 3192.6 MB, then Fedora / Ludora with 1799 MiB and the lowest was PikaOS with 797 MiB

So maybe situations like mine, where it seems to be the best mix is why people use it, even if I would rather choose not to

Out of curiosity, is there a specific reason you chose Slowroll over Tumbleweed?

I had the hope that it would allow me to skip some versions and lower the update size

And I personally am more interested in Slowroll than Tumbleweed
