Yes it does sound like you better try Debian. Also join their list
because they use Top comments like you seem to prefer.

It sounds like Fedora just still isn't the distro for me. Maybe I'll
go with LFS, Slackware, Gentoo, a Debian-based distro, or something.

Is there any way to get and use Fedora without the RPM program or any

compiling everything from the source?
I'd have to wonder why you'd want to do that. You might as well do
Linux from scratch, or pick on of the other smaller distros which don't
use a package manager.
On the other hand, if you mean adding packages to a Fedora system, and
those additional things not being RPM packages, then of course you can
do that. Just the same as you can with any Linux distro. But it's up
to you to figure out how to add anything additional that they depend on,
that you don't already have.
