It's not even over when you switch to Linux as I found out.
"You're not using Arch? What's wrong with you?"
"Mint is for idiots who don't understand Linux."
Etc.
Eh, fuck ‘em. I’ve been riding my Fedora install for nearly 3 years. Never distro hopped. Never found an issue with it.
Fedora was actually the last version of Linux I used, back in high school on my old HP e-Vectra. Fedora Core 4. What made you pick Fedora? I'm going to be switching to Linux before Win 10 is end of life, and there are so many more options than there were in the early 2000's.
Fedora is a very solid, no nonsense distro. It gives you a vanilla Linux experience, with sane defaults out of the box. You get major updates every 6 month shipping newer version of the core stuff (kernel, desktop environment, etc). The Fedora community is dedicated to deliver a reliable OS and tests a lot before shipping updates.
It's my favorite desktop/laptop distro for many years.
However, there are a couple a pitfalls to avoid. If you go for it, follow some beginners guide to get you sorted out with things like codecs and proprietary drivers. E.g: Things to do after installing Fedora 40 - itsfoss.com I would definitely recommend to do steps 2, 3, 4 and 5 from this guide.
