Fedora Linux editions part 4: Alt Downloads</h3> </a></div><div class="clear"></div></div> </div> <div class="post-inner"> <div class="post-content"> <p>Fedora Linux provides several variants to meet your needs. You can find an overview of all the Fedora Linux variants in my previous article <a href="https://fedoramagazine.org/introduce-the-different-fedora-linux-editions/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Introduce the different Fedora Linux editions</a>. This article will go into a little more detail about the Fedora Linux official editions. There are five <em>editions</em> — Fedora Workstation, Fedora Server, Fedora IoT, Fedora CoreOS, and Fedora Silverblue. The Fedora Linux download page currently shows that three of these are <em>official</em> editions and the remaining two are <em>emerging</em> editions. This article will cover all five editions.</p> <hr class="wp-block-separator"/> <span id="more-36288"></span> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fedora Workstation</h2> <p>If you are a laptop or desktop computer user, then Fedora Workstation is the right operating system for you. Fedora workstation is very easy to use. You can use this for daily needs such as work, education, hobbies, and more. For example, you can use it to create documents, make presentations, surf the internet, manipulate images, edit videos, and many other things. </p> <p>This Fedora Linux edition comes with the GNOME Desktop Environment by default. You can work and do activities comfortably using this appearance concept. You can also customize the appearance of this Fedora Workstation according to your preferences, so you will be more comfortable using it. If you are a new Fedora Workstation user, you can read my previous article <a href="https://fedoramagazine.org/things-to-do-after-installing-fedora-34-workstation/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Things to do after installing Fedora 34 Workstation</a>. Through the article, you will find it easier to start with Fedora Workstation.</p> <p>More information is available at this link: <a href="https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/">https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/</a></p> <hr class="wp-block-separator"/> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fedora Server</h2> <p>Many companies require their own servers to support their infrastructure. The Fedora Server edition operating system comes with a powerful web-based management interface called Cockpit that has a modern look. Cockpit enables you to easily view and monitor system performance and status.</p> <p>Fedora Server includes some of the latest technology in the open source world and it is backed by an active community. It is very stable and reliable. However, there is no <em>guarantee</em> that anyone from the Fedora community will be available or able to help if you encounter problems. If you are running mission critical applications and you might require technical support, you might want to consider <a href="https://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/linux-platforms/enterprise-linux" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Red Hat Enterprise Linux</a> instead.</p> <p>More information is available at this link: <a href="https://getfedora.org/en/server/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://getfedora.org/en</a><a href="https://getfedora.org/en/server/">/server/</a></p> <hr class="wp-block-separator"/> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fedora IoT</h2> <p>Operating systems designed specifically for IoT devices have become popular. Fedora IoT is an operating system created in response to this. Fedora IoT is an immutable operating system that uses OSTree Technology with atomic updates. This operating system focuses on security which is very important for IoT devices. Fedora IoT has support for multiple architectures. It also comes with a web-based configuration console so that it can be configured remotely without requiring that a keyboard, mouse or monitor be physically connected to the device.</p> <p>More information is available at this link: <a href="https://getfedora.org/en/iot/">https://getfedora.org/en/iot/</a></p> <hr class="wp-block-separator"/> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fedora CoreOS</h2> <p>Fedora CoreOS is a container-focused operating system. This operating system is used to run applications safely and reliably in any environment. It is designed for clusters but can also be run as a standalone system. This operating system has high compatibility with Linux Container configurations.</p> <p>More information is available at this link: <a href="https://getfedora.org/en/coreos?stream=stable">https://getfedora.org/en/coreos/</a></p> <hr class="wp-block-separator"/> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fedora Silverblue</h2> <p>This edition is a variant of Fedora Workstation with an interface that is not much different. However, the difference is that Fedora Silverblue is an immutable operating system with a container-centric workflow. This means that each installation is exactly the same as another installation of the same version. The goal is to make it more stable, less prone to bugs, and easier to test and develop.</p> <p>More information is available at this link: <a href="https://silverblue.fedoraproject.org/">https://silverblue.fedoraproject.org/</a></p> <hr class="wp-block-separator"/> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Conclusion</h2> <p>Each edition of Fedora Linux has a different purpose.

The docs team is currently planning a restructuring of the Fedora user documentation, away from a release related structure to a structuring according to the variants (see <a href="https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/fedora-docs-is-about-to-change-significantly-check-it-out-still-in-statu-nascendi/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/fedora-docs-is-about-to-change-significantly-check-it-out-still-in-statu-nascendi/</a>) . The article helps to get a clearer view of this.</p> <p>@Arman Arisman, maybe you could help us to describe in the docs the peculiarities of the variants briefly and accurately?</p> <p>I am very aware of how difficult it is to describe the variants briefly and succinctly and, given the variety of characteristics, to hit on the most important features. Some things do come up short for me.</p> <p>For example, the problem of a reliable, quasi enforceable support affects all variants, not only Server where this is explicitly stated. It is certainly especially important for professional server use, perhaps more important than for Workstations? But isn’t it just as important for e.g. CoreOS? Isn’t it equally important for all server variants? Or what makes it less important for one or the other?</p> <p>Or the Workstation – Silverblue relationship. Is Silverblue really “more stable” than Workstation? Are there facts and figures that prove this? I would really love to know. And if it is, at what “cost”? Experience shows that “nothing is for free”. What can I perhaps no longer do or only with additional effort? What are possible criteria to decide between the two?</p> </div> <div class="comment-meta"> <div class="fleft"> <div class="fa fw fa-clock-o"></div><a class="comment-date-link" href="https://fedoramagazine.org/fedora-linux-editions-part-1-official-editions/#comment-534138" title="June 3, 2022 at 09:35">June 3, 2022</a> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> </div> </div> <ul class="children"> <li class="comment odd alt depth-2" id="li-comment-534143"> <div id="comment-534143" class="comment"> <img alt='' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e43ff2e3ecc79d6bbd255152ce82306a?s=160&d=retro&r=g' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e43ff2e3ecc79d6bbd255152ce82306a?s=320&d=retro&r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-160 photo' height='160' width='160' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> <div class="comment-inner"> <div class="comment-header"> <h4><a href="https://nelsonaloysio.github.io" class="url" rel="ugc external nofollow">Nelson</a></h4> </div> <div class="comment-content post-content"> <p>Regarding Workstation/Silverblue – its additional stability comes down to it being an immutable OS (much like IoT/CoreOS).</p> <p>Not only it relies on atomic updates (OSTree acting as a “git for binaries”), everything in the /usr folder of the system is mounted as read-only; so it isn’t possible by default to simply edit a specific binary (example, SSH) unbeknownst to the system admin(s) – it requires either unlocking the current deployment (making it mutable) or overlaying an additional package to replace it.

That’s the theory. What about the empirics? Once in a time, Unix systems used to mount /usr read only for the same effect (regarding modification, not the other features).

FYI, I (the editor) was the one who suggested the additional wording about RHEL being available if you wanted better support in the Fedora Server section. To my knowledge, Red Hat doesn’t offer paid-support for Fedora CoreOS. What made it worth mention for Fedora Server but not for the others was that there was another/better option.
