Considering switching away from Fedora and to another distribution. Does anyone have any suggestions for distributions I should consider?

Unpopular choice here but Ubuntu LTS with ubuntu-debullshit (vanilla gnome, replace snap with flatpak).

My main factors:

  • stability of the LTS
  • drivers and HW support
  • tons of resources online
  • already use Ubuntu for servers and Raspian on my Pi

I’ve had my fun distro hopping in the past but I just want a low maintenance system nowadays.

Ohhh, I'll have to check this out. I've been gradually moving away from Ubuntu toward Debian (w/ GNOME) for a while because Snap is hot garbage and I don't want to have anything to do with it. Were it not for Snap, I still really like Ubuntu.

Drivers are the weak spot of Ubuntu LTS, even with HWE the kernel and Mesa are outdated compared to Fedora.

How does this differ from Debian+GNOME? I'm not familiar enough with exactly what Canonical adds to Debian to know.
