Can we all just pretend Red Hat and its derivatives/relatives no longer exist? It's clear that the leadership behind these projects don't care about open source anymore. There are plenty of options for Linux operating systems that actually care about user freedom, privacy, and openness. Anything with Red Hat backing it no longer gets to claim they support any of these.
Install Debian, install Arch. If you must, install Ubuntu (though they're not much better these days). Anything but Red Hat.
Lets say I wanted a distro with more bleeding edge packages but not something DIY like Arch, what would you recommend?
Nowadays I use EndeavourOS. It's Arch bit "just works" Graphical installer, you choose a DE, it automatically installs audio, media codecs etc. But under the hood it's still Arch so you get daily updates and AUR
I use Calam Arch Installer which is a graphical installer not unlike those used on other distros but for vanilla Arch. Garuda and Manjaro use the same installer but with their tweaks. Calam installer is standard Arch.
I wouldn't really can arch diy. I run arch. I have way fewer problems with it than any other distro
CachyOS. It's arch based, but the installer is really good, and it has great repos. It also has a lot of optimizations for modern cpus
