Need help deciding between a few privacy setups

Sorry but from a security perspective, this is terrible advice. This user doesn’t seem to have any issues with using Fedora that are inherent to it and they definitely don’t seem to be a power user who’s capable of safely configuring and using “DIY distros” like Arch/Artix/etc. Switching away from Fedora (which is widely recommended as the best distro for beginners by Privacy Guides, PrivSec, and Techlore) could only harm their security with little or no benefit to any other aspect of their experience.
