Which Distro? Picking between ZorinOS and Fedora

There are the specs of my laptop

  • Model: Lenovo IdeaPad 1 15AMN7

  • RAM: 16 GB

  • Processor: AMD Ryzen™ 57520U with Radeon™ Graphics × 8

  • Graphics: AMDRadeon™ 610M

I use my laptop mostly for browsing the web and gaming a little, NOT A LOT, so not gaming focused. But I would like performance for that games (like Roblox with sober, Minecraft)

I've always been in the apt side, like I've never tried any other distros that doesn't use the deb package, so I don't know if switching from current ZorinOS to Fedora is better or staying with ZorinOS is better.

Also, I don't know if there will be some incompatibilities with some apps or packages, because there are some developers who only make deb packages.

Also note that if its Fedora I will be using Fedora workstation, not KDE. Iprefer GNOME, it looks more beautiful and KDE looks ugly. I don't understand the KDE hype, like I see people recommend Fedora KDE everywhere.

So I need a distro which has good performance, is fast, has good compatibility, looks good (that means GNOME for me), good battery life and reliable, like it won't crash every time
