It's the distribution Linus uses personally and it is one that has a good balance of being very beginner friendly yet very powerful and stable.
One "odd" thing about Linux is: a lot of information can be found by following wikis and written tutorials.
Especially the arch wiki is really great. Just don't use arch as a beginner. But fedora is architecturally close enough to arch for the wiki to still be helpful.
@shansterable I'm not sure about that, but you may get to choose between KDE and gnome when setting up your fedora.
These are desktop environments. While your distribution mainly determines what software comes installed and how to install software, desktops determine the flavour of your user interface.
Generally speaking: gnome has a smoother user experience and feels a lot like apple.
KDE/plasma is rougher, but more windows-like. I personally use plasma.

@shansterable I fully support what @raptor85 said. Use Fedora.
