Getting started with Fedora :: Fedora Docs

Actually, we produce several operating systems, or editions anyway. The one that you’re most likely interested in, and the one that we’ll be focusing on, is Fedora Workstation. Fedora Workstation has a wide range of software that’s suitable for almost anyone. You can use it for home use like browsing the Web, watching streaming video, editing photos, and playing games. You can use it for work creating documents, crunching numbers in spreadsheets, or programming.

All of the software provided with Fedora is open source and free to download and use. You can even modify it and distribute it yourself, if you want—but that’s beyond the scope of this guide. We’re just going to focus on the new user experience and some "day two" stuff so you can acclimate to Fedora and start being productive right away.
