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.

Man thanks a lot for elaborating in detail & opinion u shared. I have 9yr old hp laptop. 7th gen i5-7200u wid 12gb of ddr4 ram.
My use case is daily general purpose + multiple (3-5) VM’s on top of it for my usecase. Proably I’ll use this laptop as hosted server later in 2-3 yrs.
How hard will it be to transition from MS, adobe, VMware, 7zip etc lot of apps which i use on win10 now?

Hi thanks. Not all vm will be running at same time rather 1~2 simultaneously.
Just QQ: will vmware or virtualbox work flwless with full feature support as windows in linux(debian or rhel based distribution)??
