Fedora
Fedora
Sponsored by Red Hat, Fedora is supposed to be called, a cutting edge distribution that features the latest technologies. Its software packaging is RPM. I have not used it for over 20 years, even though, I was a fan of Redhat 8 and 9. Well organised, somewhat rigid workplaces were its forte, usually four in number. The latest version is stuck at 9.4 and I think, it still uses Gnome 3. I believe that is to protect it’s Code Base with a copyright tag attached which violates the “Free Software Principles”.
The recent inquiry and testing of Redhat based Isos after installing, I found it uses Btrfs file system to hide its faults within duplicate files and the files are compressed into single file which I cannot probe examine and look for bugs. There may be bugs and bugs within Redhat Code only they know of them.
Do not use it as daily driver or as a desktop.
I have no problem corporate guys and girls using it.
In that sense, it cannot boast itself to be the cutting edge distribution and that is my bone of contention. What one needs, as an average user is not the glossy appearance but the stability and security of the system.
Linux Mint
Linux Mint
A derivative of Ubuntu, Linux Mint has tried to be like Windows built on top the Cinnamon desktop interface. It is bulky and fragmented with lot of proprietary applications. The very reason for fragmentation is the proprietary software embedded in the system with closed Code and when the OEM guys make changes to the hardware, the users are left high and dry. The abundance of graphic intensive hardware to cater for enlarging population of Linux Gamers is one side of the problem. The system upgrade that follows additional proprietary Code becomes a thorn in the flesh. Very often, it breaks down at the end of an upgrade. They have devised a Time-Shift mechanism to overcome this problem for long term users of Mint where an old copy of the old system is maintained behind the new system to fall back to, if the new system, breaks down.
It was originally based on Ubuntu but Ubuntu for no reason at all, changes it course.
Wayland compositor is an experimental platform for Ubuntu. This is the very reason, lately Mint is going to be based on stable Debian instead of Ubuntu.
My advice is for the user to use Ext4 file system and not Btrfs. It has the same problems that Redhat has but to a lesser extent with file system management.
Ubuntu
Ubuntu is renowned for its ease of use and popularity. Currently, it has divorced itself from Debian Package Manager and is transferring itself into a commercial entity with a paid contribution strategy. Its desktop is Gnome based but different and its panel system is different to Gnome Desktop. They are kept to the left hand side of the desktop. It has moved to the controversial self contained SNAP package system with missing components in many of the applications. Besides, it lacks many of the applications which I consider essential in the first instance of its install. That may be a subtle ploy by the developers to make the user to totally depend on a particular distribution and thereby get stuck with one.

10. Gnome Linux must take leave out of these guys my favorite, though and add some new wall papers to begin with.
Fedora is nowhere in this list.
Having said that current Gnome Desktop is the most soothing to my eyes when I am doing a book edition.
That I have never used but others rank them as such.
My interest is not looks but the functionality

Yes, the Brave browser is available for Manjaro.
Use Gnome Software for Install
I have got all
Brave
Vivaldi
Opera now in my Manjaro Gnome installation.
All these browsers I have in my cellphone.
This does not mean I have lost my addition to Firefox which was and now is my daily driver.
This in addition to
Dillo
Falkon
Epiphany all are available freely in Gnome.
Manjaro did the Recovery Job but it was Gnome's Gparted took the Toll

This is to illustrate how important one's Partition Table.
Of course, I could have done this with Gnome, without batting an eyelid but I wanted to which is the next best.
Is it Endeavour OS?
Is it BluStar Linux?
Is it Fedora?
Is it Suse Tumbleweed ?
Is it Reborn OS
Is it Manjaro?
I had only four distributions in my NUC SATA disk with only is of 320GB capacity.
I know how much each distribution consume.
This is to finalize my book on "Linux Essentials".
Unfortunately, Reborn OS failed in many of my tests.
But it is a good distribution in may ways and comes third of which I have tested that included CachyOS, Beryllium and many more.
Manjoro Gnome has finished.
I need to get my applications installed, now.
