Linux

The Fedora Project is an openly-developed project designed by Red Hat Enterprise Linux , open for general participation, led by a meritocracy, following a set of project objectives. The goal of The Fedora Project is to work with the Linux community to build a complete, general purpose operating system exclusively from open source software. Development will be done in a public forum. The project will produce time-based releases of Fedora about 2-3 times a year, with a public release schedule. The Red Hat engineering team will continue to participate in building Fedora and will invite and encourage more outside participation than in past releases. By using this more open process, we hope to provide an operating system more in line with the ideals of free software and more appealing to the open source community.

Alternatives to Fedora for all platforms with any license

Ubuntu

Ubuntu is a Debian Linux-based open source operating system for desktop computers.
- As of 2018, Ubuntu's installer will collect data about user devices. This has caused outrage amongst Linux users. Firstly, it's opt-out, rather than opt-in. Secondly, it shouldn't even be there. Thirdly, Canonical (Ubuntu's creators) have a very poor record on privacy, including harvesting local searches to drive Amazon sales and hostility to critics or their privacy practices. Try Linux Mint or Manjaro instead. JohnFastman • Apr 2018 • 8 agrees and 3 disagrees

- Opensuse is the only distro that doesn't focus on GNOME as the main desktop, instead allowing users to select one of many desktop environments during the installation, eliminating the need to find different "editions," that you see in other distros. Also, their theming is GORGEOUS, especially with KDE. Guest • Jun 2019
- OpenSuse is probably the closest alternative to Fedora (other than the commercial RedHat). Both OpenSuse and Fedora the .rpm packages. They come with different desktop environments by default, but you can install whatever you like once you have it up and running. JohnFastman • Jan 2017 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees

I use Fedora as my main OS. The only thing I miss in Ubuntu is the Software Center. Its easy to use and incredibly stable in comparison to most other Linux based OSes I've tried.

GNOME now includes its own software center (https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Software ), filling this gap.

Fedora fells more streamlined than Ubuntu in my opinion. Clicks with me.
If you're a Ubuntu user give Fedora a try, you may like it.
