Why are you choosing Fedora over Mint or vice versa? What distro do you use and why?

Fedora is a great and user-friendly distro but I wouldn't really recommend it. Historically, Fedora has always been kind of test site for Red Hat and it still can be considered the upstream for RHEL with all the downsides that come with upstream software.

I am a Void user myself because I like its minimalist approach but it is not for people who are new to Linux. Whenever people I know tell me they want to try Linux, I usually recommend Mint (Which is a long-standing goto newbie distro, imo. It is polished enough and has a great community.), Pop!_OS (Great out-of-the-box hardware support.) and Endeavour (Polished and user-friendly arch-based experience.) to new linux users.
