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there is no alternative to Fedora in Debian (with exception to Ubuntu and derivatives) family, even Sid consists from outdated packages.

You do know that you can get more up to date packages from other sources?

I get nginx from them and PHP from an ex deb dev

Flatpak, even if you want to stay on Fedora you can't run away from the future they're pushing.
