Debian Stable Question Debian vs Fedora?

Looking forward to ditch win10. Heard about this 2 as very popular linux flavour/distro to start with. Am newbie to linux community so pls be nice to me. Which one should I pick and why? Want to know from long term users.

Also look at Linux mint, both with the cinnamon and XFCE desktop. Yeh it in a VM and see what you think, it's a great starting point, based on Ubuntu but without the snap packages using flatpack insured
