I used Garuda linux, which was somewhat popular a few years ago (not sure what happened to it), and it was absolutely noticeably faster in the UI/UX. I think it's a combination of kernel parameters and other choices all tuned to reduce latency, that add up. sure you could do the same thing on a Fedora install but that would require knowing what all of them were. I'm talking settings like scheduling algorithm for threads, or polling rates. Whatever they did, it definitely seemed faster.
