Fedora Linux (formerly Fedora, formerly Fedora Core) is a Linux distribution developed by the community-supported Fedora Project and owned by Red Hat. Fedora Linux contains software distributed under a free and open-source license and aims to be on the leading edge of such technologies. Fedora has a reputation for focusing on innovation, integrating new technologies early on and working closely with upstream Linux communities. The default desktop in Fedora Linux is the GNOME desktop environment and the default interface is the GNOME Shell. Other desktop environments, including KDE, Xfce, LXDE, MATE and Cinnamon, are available. The Fedora project also distributes custom variations of Fedora called Fedora spins. These are built with specific sets of software packages, offering alternative desktop environments or targeting specific interests such as gaming, security, design, scientific computing and robotics.

 Long time Linux user here, primarily either Mint or Lubuntu/Xubuntu for the last decade on all my machines.

Never really got into Fedora, only because the Debian based distros always "just worked" for my needs.

I bought a toy to fiddle with, an ASUS C200M Chromebook. 30$ on ebay all day long. Weak specs even for a Chromebook; 2GB ram, 16GB SSD, Baytrail processor.

I only bought it to play with. Almost no "out of the box" Linux install would operate the C200M properly. Usually either the audio wouldn't work, or would but at best at half speed (Youtube + VLC videos would always play at about half speed).

Fedora 36 XFCE spin, out of the box, works without issue.

Two thumbs up :)

 I can not believe how slow, clunky and buggy this distro is! .................................................... WHY are people talking praise of this distro?


The graphical software centre refuses to work, Its slow to boot, and extremely slow to update via terminal!

Surely most people are looking for a distro that simply WORKS...........and does the jobs that you need done in an efficient and quick way! ............................................
Why would anyone use this over Mint or MX or Lite?

 I don't care what anyone says, no distro currently looks as professional and polished as Fedora 36 - not even Windows 10. From the gorgeous fonts to the new logo, this distro screams CLASS. It's also incredibly stable for a rolling-release and buttery smooth. Fedora team are killing it with this release, they literally went through every design detail with a tooth comb. XFCE, MATE and GNOME look way more professional with Fedora. Other distros just lazily release these window managers with little to no regard for how they look, you get wonky icons or taskbar font and icons not aligning correctly or silly DPI....not so with Fedora; THEY CARE!
