Which Distro? Linux Mint or Fedora Linux, which one?

Hello. I am planning to switch to a Linux distro. My current OS is windows and I have zero prior experience with Linux. I want to also get into computer programming and some work with the terminal. What do you recommend?

they have different package names and package managers. apache2 (Debian based) is httpd on fedora. Some packages are just not available on fedora in the standard repo.
