I already had Arch installed but was facing some bugs on Framework hardware. The official Framework forums advised to try to reproduce it on Fedora, which is officially supported distro. I just wanted to keep all of my stuff in home including KDE config, all my programs data, dotfiles etc, as well as disk layout encryption and so on. It was pretty short way for making drop-in replacement for Arch - extracted the OS to a new btrfs subvolume, configured bootloader and some basics, installed all my needed packages and all the same flatpaks and that’s it. It felt like nothing ever changed
I installed Fedora without installer. It was more “fun” than arch
Why did you go this way, if I may ask?

That’s the magic of distro-agnostic DE’s :)
Happy it worked for you without a hitch - it’s not the most conventional operation out there :)
