Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Fedora Linux is that we have had it in testing for a while and done some limited deployments.
A specific example of how I have used Fedora Linux in testing or deployment is that it is not our first choice system, but it is definitely something we have used for certain applications and systems.
In particular, for experimental use, test lab situations, or very special-purpose tasks, I choose Fedora Linux as it is an excellent choice.
I have used Fedora Linux in my organization based on a client's preference while working on a certain client-related project. However, it typically offers a shorter lifespan compared to Ubuntu .
Fedora Linux is deployed in my organization using a hybrid cloud.
What is most valuable?
Fedora Linux offers frequent updates, DNF as the package manager, and a strong focus on security as its best features.
These features have made a difference in my daily work and projects as frequent updates help to release new features which are very robust and a must-have.
Fedora Linux's strong focus on security means we do not have to worry about our data being in trouble, as our data and other related things are very safe.
Fedora Linux has positively impacted my organization by increasing security for our data, meaning fewer worries about data breaches or data security insecurities. The shorter lifespan means more administrator work, but security patches have helped reduce vulnerabilities and save money.
I have been able to save a lot of money with Fedora Linux, approximately ten thousand dollars per month, due to improved security patches and reduced vulnerabilities.
What needs improvement?
I believe the lifespan of the release cycle for Fedora Linux should be improved.
Additionally, I believe there should be improvements in lifespan and software compatibility.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Fedora Linux for the past eight years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Fedora Linux is very stable.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I previously used Ubuntu Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux before switching to Fedora Linux.
What was our ROI?
I have seen a return on investment with Fedora Linux. For research and development and experimental software, our lab team loves it. It plays well with CentOS and has many package similarities, and it has been mostly positive as we do not spend a lot on research and development. Fedora Linux gives us a chance to gauge where we are at in comparison to where technology is headed.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing shows that the licensing cost is very cost-effective and also affordable.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
What other advice do I have?
I would rate Fedora Linux a nine out of ten, and my overall review rating is nine out of ten.
I chose a nine out of ten rating because Fedora Linux has been very excellent, and the security patches have helped us reduce vulnerabilities and save a lot of money.
I have no other improvements needed for Fedora Linux that I have not mentioned.
My advice for others looking into using Fedora Linux is that it is an easy-to-use platform, a very cost-effective and affordable solution, and I highly recommend it.

A developer-friendly and highly customizable operating system that offers cost savings
Reviewed on May 28, 2024
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is most valuable?
As an administration user, I maintain the servers for my customers. Fedora Linux is a strong Linux operating system widely used in production, development, and testing environments. Its rock-solid kernel makes it ideal for mission-critical applications that require high-security standards.
Additionally, Fedora Linux is very developer-friendly and highly customizable.
It uses a package manager tool called YUM. With YUM, you can easily download and manage packages from repositories hosted by the solution.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with the product for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability depends on how many servers you want to install and if you have the resources to install those servers. So, scalability is not an issue. You can keep creating Fedora Linux servers as long as you have the resources.
How are customer service and support?
The tool has a very vibrant and widespread community. I don't know much about the community, but what I see is that it is active and releases updates and bug fixes frequently. For me, that is enough.
I have never used Fedora Linux product support; I only use Red Hat support. Red Hat's support is excellent. They offer 24/7 premium support as well as standard support. Standard support is available from 9 to 5, Monday through Friday, while premium support is available 24/7.
How was the initial setup?
The tool's setup can be done in two ways: with a GUI and without a GUI. You can install the GUI. You download the base image, and during installation, it will ask you whether you want just a plain server or a server with a GUI. It will give you all the options, including whether you want a non-graphical user interface normally used in enterprise environments.
You don't need any GUI in enterprise settings because those servers are installed and managed without it. If you use the GUI, it will consume more RAM and CPU. However, if you use just the simple non-GUI version, it will use fewer resources. On the server side, people typically don't use the GUI; they only use the non-graphical user interface because it is sufficient for running the server. On the desktop or workstation end, you can have the GUI installed.
If a system is the latest one, with a high-end CPU, a good amount of RAM, and SSD drives, it should not take more than ten minutes.
What was our ROI?
There are significant cost savings if you want to use Fedora Linux for testing. For instance, if you have a testing environment with hundreds of users working on an application, they can use it free of cost. Companies often buy a supported version on the production side due to governance and compliance requirements. If there were no such compliance requirements, many people would not buy a subscription because everyone likes to have free resources.
The value and benefits of using Fedora Linux are numerous, especially because it is a Linux operating system. For people who are trying to learn Linux, Fedora Linux is a great help because it provides everything required for developers to build applications, create new applications, and even write drivers for new hardware. Developers can also create their customized versions of the operating system if they wish.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
If you want to buy a monthly license from Fedora Linux, you can do so. But nobody does that. Most of the people who use it are technical users, either developers or infrastructure administrators.
There is no point in buying support for them because they can use Fedora Linux to fix bugs or troubleshoot independently. They can even use resources like GPT to fix issues. However, normal users might find it challenging. Hence, normal users do not use Fedora Linux; they still use Windows, Mac, or something similar.
What other advice do I have?
I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten. AI is a buzzword these days. AI is an application that uses several technologies to create something called AI. To run those technologies, we need servers that can be supported by Fedora Linux. It must contribute to AI projects like OpenAI, which is widely used. I don't know much about their specific contributions or associations, but since Fedora Linux is one of the most popular Linux operating systems, they must participate in OpenAI projects. The tool is from the open source community, just like OpenAI, so they must have some integration for sharing knowledge and building improved versions of their applications.
Fedora Linux is not used much on the enterprise side. Red Hat is the enterprise version purchased by customers. All the base technology comes from the product. Fedora Linux is a project that creates the latest operating system version. Red Hat uses those versions, makes them more user-friendly, gets all the necessary certifications for specific hardware, and then ships it with its Red Hat branding.
