i generally dont like this mentality personally. use whatever youre comfortable with! i personally use arch linux on my servers

  Same here! Mostly because I hate having to deal with different tools (or different versions of tools) on my notebook/desktop vs. my servers.

    Yes agree exactly. This is why I've tended to stick with Ubuntu on the desktop due to using Ubuntu based servers, but I really like Fedora and it works great on my laptop, but RHEL-based distros are different enough (older kernels, yum vs dnf, etc) to make me avoid running it full time.

      Fedora really is a great workstation distro. The best part about using it is that you get to learn the tools you'll be using on your own and your employers CentOS/RHEL servers in a couple of years. We're about due for CentOS 8 and you'll probably feel a lot more comfortable with it as a recent Fedora user.

        A huge contributor to my being comfortable with all server distros (RHEL, SLES, Debian, Ubuntu) is actually systemd. It has its issues, but its UI is pretty consistent. Log files for all applications are in one place, enabling/disabling/masking services works the same on all distros, and so on.
