you might not want to load that module in the first place, since you don't trust the module itself.
Exactly, and that's why you have secure boot, to protect you from untrusted software.
If modprobe any unsigned kernel module is such a security issue (which it isn't)
The kernel runs in ring 0, the most privileged tier of your system. So yes, modprobe is a dangerous thing with untrusted software. And if your system is compromised and someone has automated a modprobe in a cron, startup script or whatever to gain ring 0 control then you are F'ed. Such a thing is hard to detect and is the perfect place to hide a rootkit.
I won't trade a well-established system on openSUSE for any half-baked one on Fedora
What if you need a different filesystem than BTRFS? It's not a one size fits all filesystem, e.g. performance isn't the best with that filesystem. It's an awesome solution, but it isn't portable.
Fedora is like a test bed for RH but without the underlying system to save the users if things go wrong
I already explained to you that Fedora has a stable API and ABI, because it's not a rolling release. And Fedora also has an extensive QA. Furthermore, if things do go wrong, you can do dnf history undo last if you have a faulty update transaction. Or just rollback that single package and pin the version until it's fixed. While you can use whatever filesystem you want or need for your workflow. rpm-ostree based systems are more powerful in that regard, but aren't a requirement. It is the future though.
I really can't recommend Fedora to anyone who wants to work on their PC, as it is the worst in terms of usability.
My parents and partner use Fedora. They cannot break it and it always works for them. I use Fedora professionally for almost 10 years, I haven't encountered any issues so far. Linus Torvalds also uses Fedora, not that he's of any authority to base your distribution choice on. But it does put your comment in perspective, you can for sure work on a Fedora system, definitely not "the worst in terms of usability".
Please, read up on secure boot and update your review. Maybe even experiment a bit with malicious kernel modules to see what I mean. And if not, then I hope people read the comment section. Take care!
