Fedora is security? I mean, don't get me wrong, I love it, it's my daily driver after trying just about every distro under the sun, but I would've figured something like Qubes would stand head and shoulders above it.

i would say fedora is the "security distro for every day people" kind of distro
Qubes is specialised, whereas Fedora is a general purpose distro with a security focus.

Qubes is the actuall security distro tho.
How slow is qubes? I imagine that virtualising everything is slow. Does it have a containerised mode?
As slow as you expect, at least on anything that requires gpu such as watching videos

Qubes is specialised, though. The four distros above are general purpose with a focus.

From my experience of Fedora: would you like to update today? Debian: You're good bro, no updates today.

Debian: You're good bro, no updates today.
More accurate i would describe Fedora is:
Adopting Modern features first(Wayland,pipewire,etc Like there is no x mode in most stable Wayland desktops) and only having free and open source Repos(Rpmfusion can be added but its not official and excludes the Kernel drivers).
I think, a more serious attempt to summarize openSUSE would probably be: Functionality
Debian, Arch, Fedora and such are all weirdly similar in that they focus so much on minimalism. For example, Debian uses dash as the default shell, which breaks TTYs, but possibly squeezes out a tiny bit of performance, so I guess, that's worth it...?
Debian only uses dash for the system shell, and it does improve performance a bit given how many shell scripts run on a typical Linux system. Interactive shell is still set to Bash by default.

for security, use Tails, Qubes, Whonix, or if you want gaming + security, then Bazzite or Garuda
