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.

Based on the Debian distribution, Ubuntu has become a widely used operating system. Managed by Canonical Ltd., it has been around for over two decades. There is excellent support from Canonical through documentation and forums, and for a fee you can procure additional technical support. This makes the distribution a viable option for commercial operations. Ubuntu comes in many variants including: Server, Desktop, Long Term Support (LTS), and many more. It is wise to become familiar with this operating system for enthusiasts and professional alike.

This distribution of Linux started life as the Red Hat Linux project and was at one time the most popular distribution. In 2003 is became Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Its mainly focused on the business world, as such it typically requires the purchase of a license . In return they offer a support to their customers.

RHEL is required to release their source code. Previously this was most commonly done through the Community Enterprise Operating System (CentOS). However this project has changed direction. At this time, Rocky Linux is the likely the best option to learn or operate on the source code of RHEL.

The Rocky OS is based on the enterprise Linux offering of Red Hat. It was created after CentOS became a front runner to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Anyone looking for a near exact experience of RHEL can use this operating system. It is particularly valuable when working on programs made for Red Hat.
