Linux

The Fedora Project is an openly-developed project designed by Red Hat , 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 • 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.
