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.

Rocky Linux is an open-source enterprise operating system designed to be 100% bug-for-bug compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

It supports five processor architectures including x86_64 and ARM, offers an opt-in security repository for delivering urgent fixes ahead of upstream releases, and provides a migrate2rocky script for in-place conversions from CentOS, AlmaLinux, or Oracle Linux.
