Fedora is excellent for test-lab/R&D deployment
Software Version
Fedora CoreOS
Overall Satisfaction with Fedora Linux
We have had Fedora [Linux] in testing for a while, and done some limited deployments. It's not our first-choice system, but it is definitely something we have used for certain applications and systems.
Pros
- Better cutting-edge software packages than RHEL/CentOS
- Better for an R&D platform than other systems
- Combines the stability of RHEL/CentOS-style systems with more experimental software
Cons
- Stability. It's good, but it's not anything like CentOS for stability
- End-user usability. It has a few glaring holes here and there with UI/UX
- R&D and experimental software. Our lab guys love it
- It plays well with CentOS, and has many package similarities we use
- It's been mostly positive. We don't spend a lot on R&D stuff, but Fedora [Linux] gives us a chance to gauge where we are at in comparison to where technology is headed
- Ubuntu Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
We are an all-CentOS-shop, but we've done a number of things with Ubuntu and Fedora. Most of the production CentOS machines are only there because prior to that Fedora helped to blaze the trail to get there. It's been a very good platform for testing our new ideas. Ubuntu is similarly positioned in our organization, but Fedora stacks up well in our environment.
