Frankly, if you get too confused by which version of Fedora to pick, you probably shouldn't be running Fedora. Fedora is very user friendly, until it isn't. It's my favorite desktop Linux distro, however, the bleeding edge nature of it can definitely bite you sometimes. Fedora is the only distro I've ever used that irreparably corrupted the filesystem with just normal usage. There was no interruption to power or me running any software from outside of the official repos, just a kernel panic out of nowhere and a failed fsck on reboot. To be fair, this was several versions ago, back when it was still Fedora "Core" and I've had only minor, but fixable issues since.
Another issue for newbies is that the vast majority of third party software and tutorials that you'll find on the internet assume an Ubuntu or Debian system that you need the expertise to sometimes "translate" into Fedora/Red Hat.

This was an extremely long time ago.
Was it on btrfs by any chance?
I've burned my fingers once on it and recommend xfs ever since, no issues so far.
