    For beginners, I would definitely recommend Zorin OS since it can run .exe files in case there’s no Linux version (.deb, flatpak, snap, etc.) of the software you’re looking to run. You can use Wine in any other distro, but I feel like Zorin OS makes it foolproof with a simple UI.

    Fedora is a fine distro. Red Hat is still a huge contributor to the open source community, despite the decisions made by IBM managers to restrict RHEL source code. It just means that it’ll be a little more difficult to make RHEL clones going forward, but I doubt it’ll have any lasting impact. Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux and other RHEL based distros have all announced that they intend to continue their operations, with little to no change in how they do things. Really, the controversy is overblown.
