+1 for fedora. I use it for work. I use an exotic browser (LibreWolf) running teams. Slack desktop from https://packagecloud.io/slacktechnologies/slack it does everything well (screensharing, audio, video) all on Gnome Wayland.
the beauty is you can use native packages not flatpaks, so better chance everything works because it's been tested by the maintainer against the fedora release. at least that my theory.
In my humble opinion, consider Fedora instead because of Ubuntu and Snaps. You’ll have the flexibility of Flatpaks, RPMs, Snaps if you really want, etc. Some suggested immutable distros (Silverblue), but you can adopt a containerized workflow incrementally with regular Fedora so that you don’t run into its sticky corners.
