Fedora Linux

Fedora Logo

Perhaps the most popular distribution on the “bleeding-edge” of software development is the Fedora Project and it’s operating system (OS). This seems to be a front runner to CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Many of the features that will eventually end up in these two OS distributions are piloted in Fedora. With this status of being a testing ground, this is probably not a good choice for production environments, or where stability is required. Fedora OS is available in a variety of editions, and can be further broken down into “spins”. This additional breakdown allows for increased customizations in features such as the graphical user interface (GUI).

This distribution is an option for those studying for the CompTIA Linux+ exam. If you are working towards the CompTIA XK0-005, you’ll likely want to use the Fedora 34 Workstation edition.
