There are tradeoffs between different distributions, especially if you’re on the latest hardware. Some distributions like Fedora have aggressive kernel update policies, which means you’ll have the latest driver optimizations, but also greater risk that an update can cause regressions. Other distributions like Ubuntu LTS have more conservative update policies, and are more likely to remain stable as you perform updates.

That's just Fedora, I've had to go back to the previous kernel already once or twice before and wait for the next update (one or two days later) to update after they fix it. Thanks to Snapper it's no problem.
