Is alma what I'm looking for if I'm tired of Fedora after 16+ years with it on desktop?

Is alma what I'm looking for if I'm tired of Fedora after 16+ years with it on desktop?

[skip this story, I couldn't stop writing. Just goto: relavent]
First thing I do to any notebook *(mostly thinkpads) and pc I get is installing Fedora, and it started somwhere in middle school, so 2006-2009.
I'm not even power user, because I'm not interested in staying stuck in dependency hell when wifi drivers already works.
However I guess that I'm "power user enough to make something bad", things that would hurt me in future? I'm constantly doing them.
When with Fedora 39 I found out that only with KDE one of few unnessesery features of KDE connect works, and Gnome version wouldn't handle it I decided to remove whole Gnome and dnf install kde-blahblah (the full version)
2 Upgrades later I had problems with bluetooth, and touchscreen of my yoga thinkpad.
I just started "it can be fixed" procedure, after which no usb, no wifi, no internet, no touchscreen, not even a red clitty button - nothing to move coursor was working ecool]
The most funny things? Somehow I couldn't even run usb live linux, becouse my family photos are portected with CryptSetup ❤️ And some process detected that I don't have usb disk, that I had, boom rapair some tables. (fu & ur tables dude, just boot, you are live usb fedora ment to just open encrypted disk so I can copy photos and documets, what dracula what initdsaporsadsasd)
However sorry, for this excended story, I'm facing stupid problems like that all the time, because I'm stupid and not afraid to play with things and brake them. It would make me awesome if I only could learn from it ❤️

Most of things that I broke on Fedora, were things that were working, and fixed some problems for me, BUT broke after upgrade. Fedora have like upgrade every year, or something like that? Alma is same family but it's like server version, similar to RHEL, so it's not filled with "cutting edge" packages I didn't ever needed.
Tell me I'm wrong/right and I would read your opinions. Install it anyway to try it out, and then come back to this thread.
