Fedora. It works well with up to date software and packages.

I've been using it for years without any major problem.

Another vote for Fedora here. I've been running it for years on multiple different desktops and laptops, it has been really rock solid. The only thing I would say in favour of Ubuntu (and by extension, Mint) is that because they are targeted more at a 'beginner' Linux user, there tends to be more documentation/tutorials online (e.g. "how to do X in Ubuntu"). Of course with some experience and googling, most of those are easily adapted to other distros too.

This, especially if you prefer KDE as a desktop the Fedora KDE spin is an excellent choice.
