Rocky Linux is a fine successor to CentOS and was created by the original founder of CentOS, Gregory Kurtzer.
If you need enterprise support RHEL tends to be a default choice.
If you cannot afford RHEL or do not need enterprise support, Rocky Linux fills the role that CentOS once did.

[Rant] On the stability of a Linux desktop
Arch Linux is pretty solid on my end, gnome is a little buggy, nothing like fedora but if you're like my mother and don't want to set anything up I get it. There is Rocky linux if you want a RHEL experience and don't need the latest packages. I don't like Ubuntu but you could go that route.

Good distro for a beginner who wants to learn without struggling too much?
I would say either Debian or a RHEL free derivative like Rocky Linux or Alma Linux. If you want to get your foot on IT, Linux IT, then those should be what you have to aim to. If the company you'll be working on has money, it'll use RHEL, if not a free derivative or Debian for stability.
-
Why should I choose fedora over Ubuntu, arch or manjaro?
CentOS used to be the go-to free version of that, but Red Hat acquired that and moved it slighly upstream of RHEL. Rocky Linux and Alma Linux are now becoming the popular "free" versions.

CentOS Alternative
If you want to stick with the RHEL clones, Oracle Linux is probably the best one to go with at the moment. It's free to download and use, and still has the same lifecycle times as RedHat (thanks for screwing that up CentOS). Any CentOS box can be converted to Oracle Linux with a simple shell script via GitHub that Oracle provides. There's an FAQ on switching from CentOS to Oracle Linux too

The CentOS survey
They are already up to questionable behavior. The centos2ol script replaces EPEL with an Oracle version of EPEL that is not identical. Many packages are missing or older, and no one knows if the other packages have been modified. There is no disclosure of this change and no way to opt out without modifying the script yourself or reversing it after the fact.
