As alternative to the RHEL and its clones maybe. But there is no alternative to Fedora in Debian (with exception to Ubuntu and derivatives) family, even Sid consists from outdated packages.

I rather say "Monero" even if I dislike this coin and the community for various reasons. I need to agree that the Monero role in the wide crypto landscape is quite unique at least for now.
The bigger part of the fediverse doesn't like anything related to crypto and especially NFT and web3. As a social network and a subculture the fediverse will have some effect on adoption of these ideas but the result is unclear.
I'd say that crypto and fediverse have a little intersection and mostly exist in the different echo-chambers as for now.
And ChromeOS is even more popular.
What you see when you upload files is not a FM but an open file dialog. Yeah, it sucks. Maybe it's worth to play with xdg-desktop-portal and alternative fronteds: e.g. xdg-desktop-portal-kde. But I don't know if it's better.
Ethereum is a privacy nightmare to be fair. But what is possible to do. Use different wallets with different IP, do not interact with the same dapps with different addresses do not send anything between you own addresses which are meant to be unlinked. Track assets manually with explorers and spreadsheets, oh yes. And this is far from enough.

I don't like Linux distributions in general and for the specific reasons. So, there is no my favorite. But I prefer common wide accepted original distributions and not slightly customized derivatives.
Do you mean "Debian Lenny Community", right?
BTW I use GNOME without any extensions.
The problem with Debian testing is that packages are not fresh, neither packages are fresh in sid. So, Debian is not a replacement for rolling distros like Arch Linux or openSUSE Thumbleweed
