I'm an IT person professionally, and I use Fedora as my daily driver.

Ah, Fedora, that brings back memories. We used to call it RootHat back in the day when it was still RedHat. It was what all the first-time Linux users used before they graduated to Debian or Slackware. They would use root as they day to day account, hence the name.

Havent used it in forever. Is it still as big a pile of shit as it was in the 90’s ?

I've been using it since Fedora Core 7 back in like 05 or something. It's pretty solid. I use mate rather than gnome, but otherwise it's an excellent, very FOSS, choice.
