About Fedora

Fedora Workstation is a reliable, powerful, and easy-to-use operating system for desktop and laptop computers. It is functional for a wide range of developers, from hobbyists and students to professionals in business environments. Focus on your code with the GNOME 3 desktop environment. GNOME is developed with the needs of developers in mind and is free from unnecessary distractions, so you can focus on what really matters. Avoid the hassle of trying to find or compile the tools you need. With Fedora's comprehensive collection of open source languages, tools, and utilities, it's just a click or command away. There are even hosting projects and repositories like COPR to share your code and make builds available to the entire community.

Chromium OS
Chromium OS is an open-source project that aims to build an operating system that provides a fast, simple, and more secure computing experience for people who spend most of their time on the web. Here you can review the project's design docs, obtain the source code, and contribute. We think of Chromium as a tabbed window manager or shell for the web rather than a browser application. We avoid putting things into our UI in the same way you would hope that Apple and Microsoft would avoid putting things into the standard window frames of applications on their operating systems. The tab is our equivalent of a desktop application's title bar; the frame containing the tabs is a convenient mechanism for managing groups of those applications. In future, there may be other tab types that do not host the normal browser toolbar.

    "Great distro"

    5 out of 5 stars Posted 2022-02-28

    Pros: - Customization of Fedora
    - Supports most of the DEs you can think of (KDE, Cinnamon, MATE, Xfce, etc.)

    Cons: Default mirrors are slow. In Brazil, Fedora defaults for the C3SL servers, which for me are quite slow, so I have to add the Red Hat servers in the U.S.

    Overall: Overall, Fedora is a great independent distribution, Red Hat also sponsors it, meaning it uses systemd.
    I would recommend this distro if you're and intermediate user of Linux, and is willing to use the terminal and read documentation.
