Fedora Linux

Fedora Linux[7] is a Linux distribution developed by the Fedora Project. It was originally developed in 2003 as a continuation of the Red Hat Linux project. It contains software distributed under various free and open-source licenses and aims to be on the leading edge of open-source technologies.[8][9][10] It is now the upstream source for CentOS Stream and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.[11][12]

Since the release of Fedora 21 in December 2014, three editions have been made available: personal computer, server and cloud computing. This was expanded to five editions for containerization and Internet of Things (IoT) as of the release of Fedora 37 in November 2022.[13][14] A new version of Fedora Linux is released every six months.[15]

As of February 2016, Fedora Linux has an estimated 1.2 million users,[16] and is also the distro of choice by Linus Torvalds (as of May 2020), creator of the Linux kernel.[17][18][19]

Features edit

Fedora has a reputation for focusing on innovation, integrating new technologies early on and working closely with upstream Linux communities.[10][20] Making changes upstream instead of specifically for Fedora Linux ensures that the changes are available to all Linux distributions.

Fedora Linux has a relatively short life cycle: Each version is usually supported for at least 13 months, where version X is supported only until 1 month after version X+2 is released and with approximately 6 months between most versions.[21] Fedora users can upgrade from version to version without reinstalling.[22][23]

The default desktop environment is GNOME, and the default user interface is the GNOME Shell. Other desktop environments are available, including KDE Plasma, Xfce, LXQt, LXDE, MATE, Cinnamon, i3, Budgie, and Sway.[24][25]

A live media drive can be created using Fedora Media Writer or the dd command,[26] allowing users to try Fedora Linux without writing any changes to their hard drives.

Package management edit

Most Fedora Linux editions use the RPM package management system, using DNF as a tool to manage the RPM packages.[27] DNF uses libsolv, an external dependency resolver.[27] Flatpak is also included by default, and support for Snap packages can be added.

The Fedora CoreOS and Silverblue editions use rpm-ostree,[28] a hybrid transactional image/package system to manage the host. Traditional DNF (or other systems) should be used in containers.

Security edit

Fedora Linux uses Security-Enhanced Linux by default, which implements a variety of security policies, including mandatory access controls, which Fedora adopted early on.[29] Fedora provides a hardening wrapper, and does hardening for all of its packages by using compiler features such as position-independent executable (PIE).[30] Fedora also ships with firewalld as a default firewall.

Software edit

Fedora Workstation comes preinstalled with a wide range of software such as LibreOffice and Firefox. Additional software is available from the software repositories and can be installed using the DNF package manager or GNOME Software.

Additionally, extra repositories can be added to the system, so that software not available in Fedora Linux can be installed easily.[31] Software that is not available via official Fedora repositories, either because it does not meet Fedora's definition of free software or because its distribution may violate US law, can be installed using third-party repositories. Popular third-party repositories include RPM Fusion free and non-free repositories. Fedora also provides users with an easy-to-use build system for creating their own repositories called Copr.[32]

Since the release of Fedora 25, the operating system defaults to the Wayland display server protocol, which replaced the X Window System.[33]

System installer edit

Fedora Linux uses Anaconda as the system installer.

Editions edit

Beginning with Fedora 21, it is available in three editions,[13] expanded to five editions as of version 37.[14][34]

Workstation edit

It targets users who want a reliable, user-friendly, and powerful operating system for their laptop or desktop computer. It comes with GNOME by default but other desktops can be installed or can be directly installed as Spins.

Silverblue edit

 

Silverblue is a variant of Fedora Workstation.[35][36] It is an atomic desktop operating system. Every Silverblue installation is identical to every other installation of the same version, and it never changes as it is used. The immutable design is intended to make the operating system more stable, less prone to bugs, easier to test and develop, and create a platform for containerized applications as well as container-based software development. Applications and containers are kept separate from the host system. OS updates are fast and there is no installation stage. With Silverblue, it is also possible to roll back to the previous version of the operating system, if something goes wrong.[37]

Fedora Silverblue was previously known as Fedora Atomic Workstation. The descriptive name for this product is image-mode container-based Fedora Workstation based on rpm-ostree, which is clear but unsuitable for branding. The team preferred the project name Silverleaf, but could not secure that name for various reasons. Therefore, it was named Silverblue, though the logo still retains the impression of a leaf.[38]

The long-term goal for this effort is to transform Fedora Workstation into an image-based system where applications are separate from the OS, and updates are atomic. Red Hat engineers, along with independent free software contributors have built most of the pieces for this new desktop over the last few years: OSTree, Flatpak, Flathub, rpm-ostree, and GNOME Software.

The ultimate goal of this effort always was to create an image-based variant of the Workstation that is at feature-parity and better suited for certain use cases than the traditional variant. Until the end of 2017, the Silverblue team slowly completed the necessary pieces for the vision of an immutable image-based OS with independent applications: Wayland, flatpak, and rpm-ostree support in GNOME Software, etc. During the same time, Project Atomic has added new features like package layering to rpm-ostree and added rpm-ostree support to Anaconda.[39] Fedora also supports more immutable editions, including Sway Atomic, Budgie Atomic, and Kinoite for KDE Plasma.

Server edit

Its target usage is for servers. It includes the latest data center technologies. This edition does not come with a desktop environment, but one can be installed. From Fedora 28, Server Edition will deliver Fedora Modularity,[40] adding support for alternative update streams for popular software such as Node.js and Go.

IoT edit

Images of Fedora Linux tailored to running on Internet of Things devices. It supports x86_64, aarch64 and armhfp processors.[41]

CoreOS edit

The successor of Fedora Atomic Host (Project Atomic) and Container Linux after Fedora 29,[42] it provides a minimal image of Fedora Linux which includes just the bare essentials. This is not to be confused with Fedora Core. It is meant for deployment in cloud computing. It provides Fedora CoreOS images which are optimized minimal images for deploying containers.[43] CoreOS replaced the established Container Linux when it was merged with Project Atomic[44] after its acquisition by Red Hat in January 2018.[45]

Labs edit

Similar to Debian blends, the Fedora Project also distributes custom variations of Fedora Linux called Fedora Labs.[46] These are built with specific sets of software packages, targeting specific interests such as gaming, security, design,[47] robotics,[48][49] and scientific computing[50] (that includes SciPy, Octave, Kile, Xfig and Inkscape).

The Fedora AOS (Appliance Operating System) was a specialized spin of Fedora Linux with reduced memory footprint for use in software appliances. Appliances are pre-installed, pre-configured, system images. This spin was intended to make it easier for anyone (developers, independent software vendors (ISV), original equipment manufacturers (OEM), etc.) to create and deploy virtual appliances.

Spins and Remixes edit

 
Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop, one of the several official Fedora Spins

The Fedora project officially distributes different variations called "Fedora Spins"[51] which are Fedora Linux with different desktop environments (GNOME is the default desktop environment). The current official spins, as of Fedora 39, are KDE Plasma,[52] Xfce,[53] LXQt,[54] MATE (with Compiz),[55] Cinnamon,[56] LXDE,[57] SoaS,[58] i3,[59] Phosh (for use on PinePhone),[60] Budgie,[61] and Sway.[62] In addition, the KDE, Sway, and Budgie spins are provided as OSTree-backed immutable spins named Kinoite,[63] Sway Atomic,[64] and Budgie Atomic[65] respectively.

In addition to Spins, which are official variants of the Fedora system, the project allows unofficial variants to use the term "Fedora Remix" without asking for further permission, although a different logo (provided) is required.[66]

Architectures edit

x86-64 and ARM AArch64 are the primary architectures supported by Fedora.[4] As of release 38, Fedora also supports IBM Power64le, IBM Z ("s390x"), MIPS-64el, MIPS-el and RISC-V as secondary architectures.

Fedora 28 was the last release that supported ppc64 and users are advised to move to the little endian ppc64le variant.[67] Fedora 36 was the last release with support for ARM-hfp.[68]

Alternatives edit

The Fedora Project also distributes several other versions[69] with less use cases than mentioned above, like network installers and minimal installation images. They are intended for special cases or expert users that want to have custom installations or configuring Fedora from scratch.

In addition, all acceptable licenses for Fedora Linux (including copyright, trademark, and patent licenses) must be applicable not only to Red Hat or Fedora, but also to all recipients downstream. This means that any "Fedora-only" licenses, or licenses with specific terms that Red Hat or Fedora meets but that other recipients would not are not acceptable (and almost certainly non-free, as a result).

History edit

The name of Fedora derives from the original "Fedora Linux", a volunteer project that provided extra software for the Red Hat Linux distribution, and from the characteristic fedora hat used in Red Hat's "Shadowman" logo. Warren Togami began Fedora Linux in 2002 as an undergraduate project at the University of Hawaii,[70] intended to provide a single repository for well-tested third-party software packages so that non-Red Hat software would be easier to find, develop, and use. The key difference between Fedora Linux and Red Hat Linux was that Fedora's repository development would be collaborative with the global volunteer community.[71] The original Fedora Linux was eventually absorbed into the Fedora Project, carrying with it this collaborative approach.[72] The Fedora Project is sponsored primarily by Red Hat with additional support and sponsors from other companies and organizations.[73]

Fedora Linux, then known as "Fedora Core", was a fork of Red Hat Linux launched in 2003, when Red Hat Linux was discontinued so the team can focus on their paid version for servers Red Hat Enterprise Linux.[74] Red Hat Enterprise Linux was to be Red Hat's only officially supported Linux distribution, while Fedora was to be a community distribution.[74] Red Hat Enterprise Linux branches its releases from versions of Fedora.[75]

Before Fedora 7, Fedora was called Fedora Core after the name of one of the two main software repositories - Core and Extras. Fedora Core contained all the base packages that were required by the operating system, as well as other packages that were distributed along with the installation CD/DVDs, and was maintained only by Red Hat developers. Fedora Extras, the secondary repository that had been included since Fedora Core 3, was community-maintained and not distributed along with the installation CD/DVDs. Upon the release of Fedora 7, the distinction between Fedora Core and Fedora Extras was eliminated.[76]

Since the release of Fedora 21, as an effort to bring modularization to the Fedora distribution and make development more agile,[77][78] three different versions are available: Workstation, focused on the personal computer, Server and Atomic for servers, Atomic being the version meant for cloud computing.[13]

Fedora is a trademark of Red Hat, Inc. Red Hat's application for trademark status for the name "Fedora" was disputed by Cornell University and the University of Virginia Library, creators of the unrelated Fedora Commons digital repository management software.[79] The issue was resolved and the parties settled on a co-existence agreement that stated that the Cornell-UVA project could use the name when clearly associated with open source software for digital object repository systems and that Red Hat could use the name when it was clearly associated with open source computer operating systems.[80]

In April 2020, project leader Matthew Miller announced that Fedora Workstation would be shipping on select new ThinkPad laptops, thanks to a new partnership with Lenovo.[81]

Development and community edit

 
The core values of the Fedora community

Development of the operating system and supporting programs is headed by the Fedora Project, which is composed of a community of developers and volunteers, and also Red Hat employees.[82] The Council is the top-level community leadership and governance body. Other bodies include the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee, responsible for the technical decisions behind the development of Fedora, and Fedora Mindshare Committee which coordinates outreach and non-technical activities, including representation of Fedora Worldwide e.g.: Ambassadors Program, CommOps team and Marketing, Design and Websites Team.[83]

Releases edit

 
Fedora Core 1.0, a continuation of Red Hat Linux with GNOME 2.4 (2003-11)
 
Fedora 15 (Lovelock), the first release with GNOME 3 and GNOME Shell. (2011-05)
 
Fedora 21, a version that brought experimental Wayland and HiDPI support (2014-12)

Fedora has a relatively short life cycle: version X is supported only until 1 month after version X+2 is released and with approximately 6 months between most versions, meaning a version of Fedora is usually supported for at least 13 months, possibly longer.[21] Fedora users can upgrade from version to version without reinstalling.[22][23]

The current release is Fedora 39, which was released on 7 November 2023.[84]

Rawhide edit

Rawhide is the development tree for Fedora.[95] This is a copy of a complete Fedora distribution where new software is added and tested, before inclusion in a later stable release. As such, Rawhide is often more feature rich than the current stable release. In many cases, the software is made of CVS, Subversion or Git source code snapshots which are often actively developed by programmers. Although Rawhide is targeted at advanced users, testers, and package maintainers, it is capable of being a primary operating system. Users interested in the Rawhide branch often update on a daily basis and help troubleshoot problems.[95] Rawhide users do not have to upgrade between different versions as it follows a rolling release update model.

Linux is released every six months 15 As of February 2016 update Fedora Linux has an estimated 1 2 million users 16 and is also the distro of choice by Linus Torvalds as of May 2020 update creator of the Linux kernel 17 18 19 Contents 1 Features 1 1 Package management 1 2 Security 1 3 Software 1 4 System installer 2 Editions 2 1 Workstation 2 1 1 Silverblue 2 2 Server 2 3 IoT 2 4 CoreOS 2 5 Labs 2

focusing on innovation integrating new technologies early on and working closely with upstream Linux communities 10 20 Making changes upstream instead of specifically for Fedora Linux ensures that the changes are available to all Linux distributions Fedora Linux has a relatively short life cycle Each version is usually supported for at least 13 months where version X is supported only until 1 month after version X 2 is released and with approximately 6 months between most versions 21 Fedora users can upgrade from version to version without reinstalling 22 23 The default desktop environment is GNOME and the default user interface is the GNOME Shell Other desktop environments are available including KDE Plasma Xfce LXQt LXDE MATE Cinnamon i3 Budgie and Sway 24 25 A live media drive can be created using Fedora Media Writer or the dd command 26 allowing users to try Fedora Linux without writing any changes to their hard drives Package management edit Most Fedora Linux editions use the RPM package management system using DNF as a tool to manage the RPM packages 27 DNF uses libsolv an external dependency resolver 27 Flatpak is also included by default and support for Snap packages can be added The Fedora CoreOS and Silverblue editions use rpm ostree 28 a hybrid transactional image package system to manage the host Traditional DNF or other systems should be used in containers Security edit Fedora Linux uses Security Enhanced Linux by default which implements a variety of security policies including mandatory access controls which Fedora adopted early on 29 Fedora provides a hardening wrapper and does hardening for all of its packages by using compiler features such as position independent executable PIE 30 Fedora also ships with firewalld as a default firewall Software edit Fedora Workstation comes preinstalled with a wide range of software such as LibreOffice and Firefox Additional software is available from the software repositories and can be installed using the DNF package manager or GNOME Software Additionally extra repositories can be added to the system so that software not available in Fedora Linux can be installed easily 31 Software that is not available via official Fedora repositories either because it does not meet Fedora s definition of free software or because its distribution may violate US law can be installed using third party repositories Popular third party repositories include RPM Fusion free and non free repositories Fedora also provides users with an easy to use build system for creating their own repositories called Copr 32 Since the release of Fedora 25 the operating system defaults to the Wayland display server protocol which replaced the X Window System 33 System installer edit nbsp Fedora Workstation 35 installation summaryMain article Anaconda installer Fedora Linux uses Anaconda as the system installer Editions editBeginning with Fedora 21 it is available in three editions 13 expanded to five editions as of version 37 14 34 Workstation edit nbsp nbsp Fedora Workstation 37 with its default applications It targets users who want a reliable user friendly and powerful operating system for their laptop or desktop computer It comes with GNOME by default but other desktops can be installed or can be directly installed as Spins Silverblue edit nbsp Silverblue is a variant of Fedora Workstation 35 36 It is an atomic desktop operating system Every Silverblue installation is identical to every other installation of the same version and it never changes as it is used The immutable design is intended to make the operating system more stable less prone to bugs easier to test and develop and create a platform for containerized applications as well as container based software development Applications and containers are kept separate from the host system OS updates are fast and there is no installation stage With Silverblue it is also possible to roll back to the previous version of the operating system if something goes wrong 37 Fedora Silverblue was previously known as Fedora Atomic Workstation The descriptive name for this product is image mode container based Fedora Workstation based on rpm ostree which is clear but unsuitable for branding The team preferred the project name Silverleaf but could not secure that name for various reasons Therefore it was named Silverblue though the logo still retains the impression of a leaf 38 The long term goal for this effort is to transform Fedora Workstation into an image based system where applications are separate from the OS and updates are atomic Red Hat engineers along with independent free software contributors have built most of the pieces for this new desktop over the last few years OSTree Flatpak Flathub rpm ostree and GNOME Software The ultimate goal of this effort always was to create an image based variant of the Workstation that is at feature parity and better suited for certain use cases than the traditional variant Until the end of 2017 the Silverblue team slowly completed the necessary pieces for the vision of an immutable image based OS with independent applications Wayland flatpak and rpm ostree support in GNOME Software etc During the same time Project Atomic has added new features like package layering to rpm ostree and added rpm ostree support to Anaconda 39 Fedora also supports more immutable editions including Sway Atomic Budgie Atomic and Kinoite for KDE Plasma nbsp A fresh install of Silverblue 35 with automatic partitioning for storage configuration nbsp Default applications of Silverblue 35 Server edit Its target usage is for servers It includes the latest data center technologies This edition does not come with a desktop environment but one can be installed From Fedora 28 Server Edition will deliver Fedora Modularity 40 adding support for alternative update streams for popular software such as Node js and Go IoT edit Images of Fedora Linux tailored to running on Internet of Things devices It supports x86 64 aarch64 and armhfp processors 41 CoreOS edit The successor of Fedora Atomic Host Project Atomic and Container Linux after Fedora 29 42 it provides a minimal image of Fedora Linux which includes just the bare essentials This is not to be confused with Fedora Core It is meant for deployment in cloud computing It provides Fedora CoreOS images which are optimized minimal images for deploying containers 43 CoreOS replaced the established Container Linux when it was merged with Project Atomic 44 after its acquisition by Red Hat in January 2018 45 Labs edit Similar to Debian blends the Fedora Project also distributes custom variations of Fedora Linux called Fedora Labs 46 These are built with specific sets of software packages targeting specific interests such as gaming security design 47 robotics 48 49 and scientific computing 50 that includes SciPy Octave Kile Xfig and Inkscape The Fedora AOS Appliance Operating System was a specialized spin of Fedora Linux with reduced memory footprint for use in software appliances Appliances are pre installed pre configured system images This spin was intended to make it easier for anyone developers independent software vendors ISV original equipment manufacturers OEM etc to create and deploy virtual appliances Spins and Remixes edit nbsp Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop one of the several official Fedora SpinsThe Fedora project officially distributes different variations called Fedora Spins 51 which are Fedora Linux with different desktop environments GNOME is the default desktop environment The current official spins as of Fedora 39 are KDE Plasma 52 Xfce 53 LXQt 54 MATE with Compiz 55 Cinnamon 56 LXDE 57 SoaS 58 i3 59 Phosh for use on PinePhone 60 Budgie 61 and Sway 62 In addition the KDE Sway and Budgie spins are provided as OSTree backed immutable spins named Kinoite 63 Sway Atomic 64 and Budgie Atomic 65 respectively In addition to Spins which are official variants of the Fedora system the project allows unofficial variants to use the term Fedora Remix without asking for further permission although a different logo provided is required 66 Architectures edit x86 64 and ARM AArch64 are the primary architectures supported by Fedora 4 As of release 38 Fedora also supports IBM Power64le IBM Z s390x MIPS 64el MIPS el and RISC V as secondary architectures Fedora 28 was the last release that supported ppc64 and users are advised to move to the little endian ppc64le variant 67 Fedora 36 was the last release with support for ARM hfp 68 Alternatives edit The Fedora Project also distributes several other versions 69 with less use cases than mentioned above like network installers and minimal installation images They are intended for special cases or expert users that want to have custom installations or configuring Fedora from scratch In addition all acceptable licenses for Fedora Linux including copyright trademark and patent licenses must be applicable not only to Red Hat or Fedora but also to all recipients downstream This means that any Fedora only licenses or licenses with specific terms that Red Hat or Fedora meets but that other recipients would not are not acceptable and almost certainly non free as a result History editThe name of Fedora derives from the original Fedora Linux a volunteer project that provided extra software for the Red Hat Linux distribution and from the characteristic fedora hat used in Red Hat s Shadowman logo Warren Togami began Fedora Linux in 2002 as an undergraduate project at the University of Hawaii 70 intended to provide a single repository for well tested third party software packages so that non Red Hat software would be easier to find develop and use The key difference between Fedora Linux and Red Hat Linux was that Fedora s repository development would be collaborative with the global volunteer community 71 The original Fedora Linux was eventually absorbed into the Fedora Project carrying with it this collaborative approach 72 The Fedora Project is sponsored primarily by Red Hat with additional support and sponsors from other companies and organizations 73 Fedora Linux then known as Fedora Core was a fork of Red Hat Linux launched in 2003 when Red Hat Linux was discontinued so the team can focus on their paid version for servers Red Hat Enterprise Linux 74 Red Hat Enterprise Linux was to be Red Hat s only officially supported Linux distribution while Fedora was to be a community distribution 74 Red Hat Enterprise Linux branches its releases from versions of Fedora 75 Before Fedora 7 Fedora was called Fedora Core after the name of one of the two main software repositories Core and Extras Fedora Core contained all the base packages that were required by the operating system as well as other packages that were distributed along with the installation CD DVDs and was maintained only by Red Hat developers Fedora Extras the secondary repository that had been included since Fedora Core 3 was community maintained and not distributed along with the installation CD DVDs Upon the release of Fedora 7 the distinction between Fedora Core and Fedora Extras was eliminated 76 Since the release of Fedora 21 as an effort to bring modularization to the Fedora distribution and make development more agile 77 78 three different versions are available Workstation focused on the personal computer Server and Atomic for servers Atomic being the version meant for cloud computing 13 Fedora is a trademark of Red Hat Inc Red Hat s application for trademark status for the name Fedora was disputed by Cornell University and the University of Virginia Library creators of the unrelated Fedora Commons digital repository management software 79 The issue was resolved and the parties settled on a co existence agreement that stated that the Cornell UVA project could use the name when clearly associated with open source software for digital object repository systems and that Red Hat could use the name when it was clearly associated with open source computer operating systems 80 In April 2020 project leader Matthew Miller announced that Fedora Workstation would be shipping on select new ThinkPad laptops thanks to a new partnership with Lenovo 81 Development and community edit nbsp The core values of the Fedora communitySee also Fedora Project Development of the operating system and supporting programs is headed by the Fedora Project which is composed of a community of developers and volunteers and also Red Hat employees 82 The Council is the top level community leadership and governance body Other bodies include the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee responsible for the technical decisions behind the development of Fedora and Fedora Mindshare Committee which coordinates outreach and non technical activities including representation of Fedora Worldwide e g Ambassadors Program CommOps team and Marketing Design and
