Fedora works well for me. I wanted a Linux distro which ran Gnome3 the most stable and it has proved more stable than Ubuntu if Gnome3 is going to be your UI choice. Additionally (at the time i switched) I do a fair amount of UI development and I kept running into problems where Chrome would crash intermittently and I'd waste time trying to figure out if that was due to my code or to Chrome being unstable on that distro. So overall I have encountered a better Gnome3 experience and Chrome is more stable on Fedora.

I recommend Manjaro for ease of installation, a welcoming community and the AUR, which contains practically every program ever written for Linux.

I like to give it a try but.,
I need to install java, MySQL, and my other programming stuff,
I think it's very hard to do that in Garuda..(My personal idea).
Am I right..?
I do not know much more about that.

I'll say go for Kali or Parrot (if you are interested in cybersecurity)

Or if you need a beginner friendly os go for Elementary or Zorin (Pretty new to the game , great features) or maybe even pop (driver support)

Choose a stable distro like Ubuntu if you are new to linux . If not take rolling distro like Manjaro and Arch Linux. But if u r not a linux guy dont go with arch based distros instead got with debian based or Ubuntu Based Distro .U can start with this no problem but you should be a quick learner. But choose linux for programming it's best and also u can have better bash scripting experience here because bash is present in Linux and similarly for powershell u should go Windows. But linux gives u best experience with Shebangs and all other stuff.

You should program for the platform you plan to deploy to. If you're servers are going to be ubuntu, program on the same platform just to simplify things and avoid dependency hell.

If you are looking for stability go for Debian/Ubuntu
I will also suggest Manjaro(based on Arch) , it is very stable.
I have been using Manjaro for years. I'm happy with it.
