I was thinking about what Linux distribution to use for my servers (currently #Debian). My needs are:

widespread, so I can find answers quickly
stable updates, but not rolling release
good Podman support
easy to build packages for and/or many good custom package repositories

I then realized that #Fedora ticks pretty much all the boxes for me, and the only reason I don't use it is because I'm biased towards it as a desktop-only distribution (which it obviously isn't).

I guess I'll try it out on one of the servers
