Red Hat/IBM owns the trademark, logo, pretty much the entire architecture, a majority of FESCo members are Red Hat employees, Fedora has to follow US laws due to the Red Hat link (mostly export, patents and cryptography laws).
OpenSUSE is an option. Tumbleweed is stable and has btrfs snapshots by default. I found Leap ironically a bit less stable, the default installers wasn’t as polished as TW’s last time I used it, so the experience was a bit less intuitive.
I don’t care so much about the origins of an OS honestly, but since fedora is owned by Red Hat and IBM I don’t want to touch it. Particularly given IBMs involvement with AI and other such bullshit.
I use Tumbleweed on my main PC, mostly because I remember upgrading systems being a bit of a pain back in 2008 and I rather liked the idea of rolling release. SuSE also made snapper, a BTRFS snapshot manager.
The only time I’ve had problems with my PC is because of NVidia driver updates.
Aeon looks interesting though. Going to look into it deeper. I’m in the process of switching my main work computer from Windows 11 to Linux, and I’m contemplating what would be the best option for stability and maintainability. Nix has been appealing but it feels like that might suck too much time on maintenance, one of the reasons I want away from Windows.
Out of curiosity, why if fedora considered American?

Fedora is put our by Red Hat, which is owned by IBM, an American company.
That being said, I use Fedora. Its a great OS.
I didn’t know about the acquisition. That said, not all things American are against EU interests. And this one is free and open source.
I use Fedora too. I’d switch to EU owned, but I need something stable. Hopefully EU government support for open source grows stronger

openSuSE is German. I’d say that’s pretty stable.

I might try this. I saw opensuse Aeon. I use silverblue. After using an atomic system, I’ll never willingly go back. The stability is wonderful
