Started with Mint and... This graph is pretty accurate. I'm on Debian.
Tried Suse and Red Hat before Fedora existed... Also a lot of stuff that isn't on this graph, and made a system from scratch two times because of strict requirements.
No plans of moving from Debian. Why TF can one argue that those two are more productive? The only reason to use Fedora in particular is if you are stuck with it due to some hardware or contractual requirement.
Yeah I mean I probably ain't leaving debian tbh. It's just so nice.
I have been using Debian a lot in the past and now I'm on fedora. Reason I'm on fedora: got a new laptop and figured I could go Debian or try out another distribution. I installed it and didn't have any problems, a couple times I had to submit bug reports to the packaging team but not much else. It works and I never felt like I need some other system. All feels pretty similar to Debian after all, not much difference. One thing I favor over Debian is that packages are a bit more up to date: in Debian I'd often find myself backporting stuff from Sid. In fedora I don't really need workarounds to get new features in stable software. But still, that's just a minor annoyance. But still, I use a lot of very specific software in development; for normal use I really don't see much difference between the two.
