Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 59000 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.

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there is no alternative to Fedora in Debian (with exception to Ubuntu and derivatives) family, even Sid consists from outdated packages.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
Plus everything is in containers now so you can pull or build what you like
Flatpak, even if you want to stay on Fedora you can't run away from the future they're pushing.
