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 Enterprise 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[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]
