Even though I happily run OpenSUSE Tumbleweed myself, I have run into the occasional “What the ever-loving heck” issue that I’ve had to stubbornly troubleshoot, and I worry that’d make some people run away crying.
I have a family member with a really old laptop enjoying Mint, but my wife’s and my best buddy’s gaming PCs might be worth giving Fedora a shot on.
Like me, they need those updated Nvidia drivers and Wayland, and honestly most importantly for familiarity + cool-new-thing factor: KDE plasma 6! ;)
Fedora does this unfortunate thing, which I have not researched how to turn off yet. It will schedule a restart for you, and then just restart right in the middle of whatever you were doing, kind of like windows in that respect.
I found the “Fall apart” option last week which makes windows explode into tiny bits when you close them. Never had so few lingering windows open in my life.
I hear a lot of love for Fedora.

That IS unfortunate o.O. How weird!
Every other distro I’ve used has just been like “Hey, some of this stuff was system integral, recommend a restart when you feel like it. 👍”
Yeah, I’m used to Ubuntu and other Debian distros to act like that.

Pew pew!!!
OMG if you like that you’ll probably also love Burn My Windows (https://github.com/Schneegans/Burn-My-Windows)
Those effects are ported to Plasma too! You can get 'em through the KDE Store / get new stuff system. :D
