Last Update: 2026-03-14 07:22 UTC


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.

Popularity (hits per day): 12 months: 9 (1,083), 6 months: 9 (1,139), 3 months: 9 (1,115), 4 weeks: 7 (1,221), 1 week: 5 (1,460)

Average visitor rating: 8.3/10 from 469 review(s).

Table Notes and Explanations

(Please refer to the table below.)
  • Select view:
  • 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.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

Fedora KDE v43 has proven to be the best distribution for a few of my family home laptops. The main reason is simple: every piece of hardware works flawlessly right after installation. For years I struggled with either one of my Wi-Fi adapters on Debian and even at some extent on Ubuntu, but on Fedora it functions perfectly with no manual fixes or extra configuration.

Occasionally I do some testing of new Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint distros but very quickly I always return to Fedora.

From my perspective, Fedora is currently one of the most refined and thoughtfully engineered Linux distributions. It manages to combine modern technology, reliability, and day-to-day usability in a very balanced way.

Though it is not the best Linux distro for use with Nvidia GPUs, it does work very well with my old RTX 4080 Super and my newer RTX 5080. I find that Fedora is the best distro for me and my needs with the limited access to modern Nvidia drivers. Overall, I love the experience of using Fedora (42 was great, 43 is better). I have only been using Fedora for about 9 months and enjoying it very much. It definitely beats my experiences with Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Arch, and several others. I do also like RebornOS and AcreetionOS as well.

Fedora is a fantastic distribution! I used it many years ago, but I returned to using it with version 42 and it was love at first sight... version 43 is even better... simply everything works... My laptop has Optimus video (Intel/Nvidia) and even after many updates I've never had a problem.

At first, Fedora might seem a bit clunky because using the terminal is necessary for some configurations, but it's not difficult. There's a lot of information available on the internet and the Fedora community is always ready to help.

I use KDE Plasma and I love it. Beautiful, fast, and fully configurable. I can customize it however I want...

If you want a beautiful, up-to-date, stable distro, Fedora is for you.
