You certainly seem to have a low opinion of the users on this list
(and others): That we are biased, to use the polite term; and
incapable of offering fair recommendations.
I've only been on the list for a couple of years, but it took 15 years
and numerous Linux distros to get here. Yes, at this point, I prefer
Debian for MY use, but that doesn't mean I recommend it blindly without
regard to another's requirements. I think most everyone here is of the
same mind: State your needs and you'll get honest recommendations even
if it's not Debian.
And FWIW, I was on the Fedora list for many years (FC3 to F15) prior
to my switch to Debian, and they are similar: if Fedora, RHEL, CentOS,
etc. wasn't best for you, they'd tell you; and recommend something
more suitable, if they could.
