Although most of the features of both the operating system i.e Fedora Linux and Oracle Linux are similar it is a more stable operating system. It offers powerful performance because of the stability and we are able to migrate our database servers very easily. With less amount of effort, we can achieve a greater performance because of the memory management that it offers internally. Also, it works well with Oracle Products.

It doesn't consume many resources and is quite easy to install and connect. Because of all these features, it deserves a high rating. It has a vast community that is quite knowledgeable.

It is well suited for small and medium-sized organizations as well because it is an open-source robust operating system that offers high scalability. One of the limitations of Oracle Linux is that it works well with Oracle products only and hence it is also suited for companies that use Oracle products and databases. Also, it is a stable operating system and the performance is beyond expectation.
