Why would you want an Operating System to rule them all?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Because clickbait
A Fedora is cool, but have you tried a Trilby?
I really like dnf as package manager, it's fast and it can resolve really borked installations. Flatpak also works well there.
Still use it on my Laptop since I couldn't be bothered to switch to the more stable Debian, but Fedora seems to 'just work'. As soon as there's a problem upgrading to the latest version I'll ditch it for Debian.
However, on my Desktop I tried Fedora and switched to Arch because it's more bleeding edge. I need those new mesa drivers without resorting to a COPR...
I am a Fedora user, but I wouldn't say it rules them all. It has shortcomings, and other distros are better at other things. For example, Debian is better at LTS Servers and Arch is better at bleeding edge, minimal desktops.
