Overall Satisfaction with Fedora Linux

I used Fedora Linux in my organization based on a client's preference while working on certain client related projects. Fedora Linux typically offers a shorter lifespan compared to Ubuntu.

Pros

  • frequent updates
  • DNF as the package manager
  • strong focus on security

Cons

  • lifespan of release cycle
  • software compatibility
  • Long term support is every 6 months
  • Shorter LTS means more administrator work
  • Security patches help reduce vulnerabilities to help save money
This is a personal preference based on working with hundreds of client projects, I prefer Ubuntu over Fedora Linux.
The flavor of Fedora Linux comes down to the projects needs. Fedora Linux offers a focus on security which should be more for enterprise related projects, whereas Ubuntu is used more for smaller projects like small businesses.

Do you think Fedora Linux delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Fedora Linux's feature set?

Yes

Did Fedora Linux live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Fedora Linux go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Fedora Linux again?

Yes

Usually when there is a focus on security it takes away from flexibility. I personally like Ubuntu more than Fedora Linux because the long term support LTS is longer than Fedora Linux.
