About

Fedora Linux is an open-source operating system developed by the Fedora Project that serves as the upstream community distribution for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

It delivers rapid release cycles with early access to new Linux kernel versions and system components, uses the DNF package manager with RPM packages, enforces security through SELinux, ships Fedora Workstation with the GNOME desktop on Wayland by default, and uses Btrfs as the default filesystem in recent releases.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is a commercial enterprise Linux distribution designed for hybrid cloud deployments across physical, virtual, and cloud environments.

It includes Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux), a mandatory access control system built into the kernel, and supports kernel live patching which applies critical security updates without rebooting the system.
