First, there's nothing overbearing about the Ubuntu install.
Second, Fedora uses rpm management, rpm repositories sooner or later corrupt themselves, happened to me and others I know on Red Hat, on Fedora and on SuSE.
I'd use Debian but I've found Ubuntu's driver management to be far more stable and reliable, especially for WiFi.

Debian started shipping firmware in the main ISO this release. It mostly just works except Nvidia now, and even that's just an apt install away.
Does that make it any easier? You can download a live version and test instead of needing to find that firmware included release.

Exact opposite experience here. RHEL and friends have been much more stable reliable for me than Ubuntu.

> "Sign up for an account" is part of the install flow just like Windows.
There's nothing wrong with providing an easily skippable option to do that (ubuntu), a completely different thing to make it a mandatory part of the installation (windows).
Fedora is my default "easy" Linux install nowadays, the excessively corporate vibes I get from Ubuntu feel very wrong for a Linux distro.
