I can vouch for Fedora, I used plenty of distros from Arch to Ubuntu (and many of it's forks) and even weird outliers like Solus and Fedora is the most boring distro out of all of them, and I mean that in the best way. To quote a certain Todd: "It just works!" Do note you will probably want to enable RPM fusion (basically mandatory if you use nVidia) to get access to useful non open source and license encumbered packages Fedora can't ship by default (like media codecs). Other than that, install Steam and whatever other launchers you want and enjoy a boring, reliable distro.
I switched from EndeavourOS to Fedora too and I love it
As someone considering the switch in the other direction, what made you want to leave EOS?
I just didn't feel like setting everything up myself anymore (e.g. switching to BTRFS and enabling compression, switching to Pipewire and stuff like that) and I also wanted to be able to install packages through GNOME's Software app, which isn't possible on Arch but is on Fedora. Fedora has really good defaults IMO, they're really fast to use new technology, like what I mentioned I had to manually switch to before.
