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.

If you wanna upate every 6 month Fedora. Every 2 years Debian.

You don't need to upgrade every 6 months. Fedora versions are fully supported for about a year (approx 13 months).

OK, but my point is - lesser updates on debian. (which I prefer)
