I got a new notebook and want to switch from Ubuntu. I was thinking about moving to Arch. What distros you guys recommend and why?

Ubuntu is great because it's easy, but at the cost of having introduced a lot of complexity and bloat. Using Arch or Debian reduces complexity by stripping some of that away, but requires more technical understanding from the user. If you can manage, it's probably a better way to go.
I'll just have to learn how to manage hehehe
it largerly depends on what are you looking for
If you just want to try something new -- Arch is a great option for desktop and everyday use, it has literally the best documentation available in linux world.
Other than that Fedora is great if you want something more simple and stable
Fedora was on my list of interests also
Fedora is great, it's a low-maintenance, stable solution. I have been running Alma Linux (also RHEL-derivative) for the past 2 years on my servers, and I never had an issue with it. However, it might be a little more tricky to get it right with some software, for example Docker and steamcmd.
Arch on the other hand is very straightforward after initial installation and still reliable enough. It's a complete DIY solution, so you have a complete freedom in choosing how do you want to customize it
