I'm enjoying AlmaLinux with KDE and not seeing any reason to switch so far, it's rock solid stable and RHEL docs are better than anything aside from maybe Arch. All the dev tools they tend to not have without fail have an `asdf` plugin, or they're written in Rust and `cargo` can install them from source just as easily. KDE might be bloated but not in a way you'd notice with a modern processor and I love the customization options.
Arch is a great option too if you want all the latest and plan to stay on top of upgrading. I like `paru` as a package manager there. Most important thing you can do on Arch is add a quick search shortcut for the Arch Wiki, it's so good I'll reference it for help on any distro.
I do love the Arch community. But I feel less motivation to tinker nowdays and Fedora was a pretty nice works out of the box experience so far.
Sometimes Arch saves so much time, that even the infrequent necessary manual maintenance after updates makes it worth it.
And even when trying to run stuff on distros other than Arch, I frequently look up instruction on Arch Wiki and in AUR PKGBUILDs.
Beware, I just realized my AMD does not support S3 sleep. Too late to return.
I'd say only go with NixOS if you want to learn the Nix language, specifically need reproducible builds, or really hate mutable state.
I hope your experience is better than mine, though. I've had mine (12th-gen Intel) for 2 years now with a terrible thermal throttling issue, and support alternates between asking me to do the same things over and over, and ghosting me for months at a time. Judging by the community forums, it's a common-enough problem too.
I assume you're getting either the Core Ultra or whatever the current AMD board is... hopefully they're better.
If they come out with a new mainboard next year, I feel like (after 3 years of owning the 12th-gen) I can justify a mainboard upgrade (though I guess it'll also mean new RAM, ugh), and pray that it's actually a hardware problem (and not a problem with the embedded controller's firmware), and that it's been quietly fixed.
