Fedora has been really doing an incredible job at creating a great distro for everyday use.

I kinda regret going back and forth between debian and ubuntu when ubuntu started getting shitty, should have moved to fedora eons ago.

Fedora is definitely a great distro that I've used a lot in the past. However, there are two main caveats from my POV:

1. The release of a version every six months. (I would prefer at least a yearly release for being sure that things are gonna be matured enough)

2. The fact that Red Hat is behind. (At this point, having seen the CentOS debacle, I don't trust them long term that much)

Re point #1; ``dnf system-upgrade'' just works.

Also, if you're concerned about stability you can just follow one release behind. That is, upgrade to Fedora 38 after Fedora 39 comes out - after it has gotten 6 months of polish.

Sure, use unsupported OS. You can always install Windows XP for maximum stability.
