I'm finally making the switch from this garbage OS windows 8.1 to a Linux based operating system. I was thinking Fedora, but I'm not as knowledgeable on the topic. Suggestions?
Windows 10

Use linux mint or buy a mac

Nice botnet

Did you use Linux before? It's a steep learning curve
It gets slated but Ubuntu is a good place to start. There's a lot of support online if you have any issues and it's not too daunting.

Make it easy on yourself and install mint dual boot to start. openSuse is also bretty noob friendly.

Stick with windows until 20 + w/e April when long time release of Ubuntu 16.04 is live.

Keked - nice meme you made there, at least it's first time I see it (faggot) pretty creative.

Fedoras fine to start with.

Fedora is great but it can be kind of confusing to start with. Ubuntu is a good place to start.

gentoo

Depends on the distro surely? I've been on Ubuntu for a few months as a total beginner, and I'm already comfy.
Ubuntu is great for beginners, fedora is kind of a pain if you don't know what you're doing. You can install the beta of ubuntu, because it will be released in a month it's already done for the most part. It would get you way more up to date packages than Fedora.

I personally use gentoo, but Fedora is a great choice

Stay on Ubuntu for a few months, then start discovering other DE's (like a week each) and see if you find home in any of them.
Then you should start testing new distros on VMs, like Debian, then Fedora, then Arch. Once you can get your Arch install to run, you already kinda know what you are doing and can decide what you want for yourself.
*Tips Fedora*
