• To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.

• Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  

• Jeu de couleurs: green text = dernière version stable, red text = version de développement ou bêta. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

After 20 years of using Linux, there are only FOUR Linux distros worth using: Slackware, Debian, Mint and Fedora. These are the ONLY distros that actually get out of your way and resemble an OS made by a professional organisation. Fedora, in particular, has a gorgeous, understated elegance; the only distro that's default install looks better than Windows and Apple. Other distros try to be different but just add unnecessary clutter and bling that is beyond obnoxious or try to be "linuxy" by making it an absolute to install and run. Was this review helpful? Yes No Version: 37 Rating: 10 Date: 2023-01-14 Votes: 4 What an absolute amazing distro! Has the great balance of being stable for performance but still having up to date with it's "semi-rolling release" structure. Security is well known as well with SELinux implemented by default and common firewall applications installed with frequent updates from a greatly funded and well known organization being Fedora Project/Red Hat, following with great documentation about further hardening security and basic pracitices with also recent vulnerabilities/issues being posted. Further speaking of documentation, I'd say it's decent and large enough and getting even more extensive with it expanding rapidly since it's recent rise in popularity the past couple of years. So finding support without having to risk asking a question on a platform to get b****ed at by the toxic portion of the community is a great aspect to consider. Not saying this is unique to Fedora Linux, but any major desktop Linux operating system has great support and documentation so common issues can be quickly/easily remedied, Fedora is a great example as well as Ubuntu, Debian, and OpenSUSE. Getting drivers and utilizing proprietary hardware is easy to enable and set up (literally a menu with some options to tick in RPM manager) so getting Nvidia drivers isn't a massive headache of a hunt to go through and get then to install if you need it. The community with Fedora luckily hasn't been as bad/toxic of an experience when having to ask for help and general questions on their OFFICIAL platforms/forums and the like, not saying they don't exist every community/group has that aspect but as said previously mentioned this doesn't seem to be as often. Another mention I'd like to mention is switching desktop environments is pretty much an absolute breeze and can get the most up to date version (I usually main Cinnamon) and default packs the most up to date GNOME which I'd argue is now a great experience in it's own right. And of course it's official page leads to spins you can download which is just base Fedora but with a different DE loaded if you're a bit lazy. I'd highly recommend this for a stable, up to date, and secure desktop operating system. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 592 reader reviews of Fedora...
