Fedora
Last update 2024Fedora creates an innovative, free, and open source platform for hardware, clouds, and containers that enables software developers and community members to build tailored solutions for their users.
Fedora Workstation:
Fedora Workstation is a reliable, user-friendly, and powerful operating system for your laptop or desktop computer. It supports a wide range of developers, from hobbyists and students to professionals in corporate environments.
Focus on your code in the GNOME 40 desktop environment. GNOME is built with developer feedback and minimizes distractions, so you can concentrate on what's important.
Skip the drag of trying to find or build the tools you need. With Fedora's complete set of open source languages, tools, and utilities, everything is a click or command line away. There's even project hosting and repositories like COPR to make your code and builds available quickly to the community.
Get virtual machines up and running quickly to test your code on multiple platforms using GNOME Boxes. Or dig into powerful, scriptable virtualization tools for even more control.
Containerize your own applications or deploy containerized applications out of the box with built-in Open Container Initiative (OCI) image support.
Fedora Server Raspberry Pi 2, 3, 4:
Fedora Server is a short-lifecycle, community-supported server operating system that enables seasoned system administrators, experienced with any OS, to make use of the very latest technologies available in the open source community.
Choose the right version of an application or language stack you need and keep it even when your OS upgrades to a newer version.
Manage your system simply with Cockpit's powerful, modern interface. View and monitor system performance and status, and deploy and manage container-based services.
Level up your Linux network with advanced identity management, DNS, certificate services, and Windows™ domain integration throughout your environment with FreeIPA, the open-source domain controller.
Fedora CoreOS(Previously Minimal) Raspberry Pi 4:
Fedora CoreOS is an automatically-updating, minimal operating system for running containerized workloads securely and at scale. It is currently available on multiple platforms, with more coming soon.
Fedora IoT Raspberry Pi 2, 3, 4, CM, CM3, CM3+:
Build, deploy, and manage your own applications with built-in Open Container Initiative (OCI) image support using podman or deploy containerized applications from popular public registries.
Fedora IoT uses OSTree technology to provide an immutable operating system with atomic updates. With the greenboot health check framework for systemd, administrators can ensure the system boots into the expected state.
Security is important for IoT devices especially since they likely don’t have the security of a data center. With support for TPM2, SecureBoot, and automated storage decryption with Clevis, Fedora IoT is built with a focus on security.
With the Ignition provisioning utility and Zezere web service, administrators can deploy and configure Fedora IoT in a scalable manner without needing a physical console.
IoT devices use a wide range of hardware and with Fedora IoT your software runs on any device without major changes. Fedora IoT is built for x86_64, aarch64, and armhfp processors in the same way with the same versions across all architectures.
Fedora Spins:
Fedora's default desktop environment is GNOME, but if you prefer an alternative, such as KDE Plasma or Xfce, you can download the corresponding edition and use it to install Fedora, preconfigured for the desktop environment of your choice.
Spins are offered as a direct download, but you can also get them via BitTorrent. To do this you need to install a BitTorrent client. If you can't use Bittorrent, some spins offer alternative download methods.
Editions were obtained as ISO files. Use the ISO file to create a virtual machine, or burn it to a USB storage device or optical disc to run editing on the real computer.
To install a spin, run the spin on your computer and click the "Install to hard drive" link on the desktop. You will be guided through the installation process by a series of prompts.
