Hello everyone, I've recently been curious to try Fedora Linux. I've been using Linux Mint for a while now, and while I really enjoy Mint, I think it's time to finally give something else a try. I want to go to a different distribution that will allow me to customize it more and have better support for GNOME and KDE.

Any information I should know before trying it out?
