I've been using Fedora for over a year instead of windows, I'm happy with it. It's stable, easy to install the software I want, looks good. I'd say go for it!

Sometimes I think about distro hopping, but I think I'd rather do that on a second computer so that when I break it I'll still have a working one.

Fedora is nice. I use it on my touchscreen laptop and most things just worked out of the box. I use Linux Mint on my desktop and I really like it. I think it's a great distro for people coming from Windows, since the UI will feel a little more familiar.
