Is Fedora For Me

Background
The Fedora distribution is not for everyone, although the Project works hard to make it as usable as possible for the widest possible audience. Fedora is a fast moving distribution that stays innovative by developing and integrating the latest free and open source technologies. By including only free and open source applications, we enable collaboration with a very large community of developers and users. Following the "release early, release often" methodology, Fedora has a short lifecycle to enable upstream projects to get feedback from a large number of users, enhance features further, close gaps, and fix issues rapidly -- thereby furthering our mission of progress of free and open source software.

Finding Out
To understand better whether Fedora is suitable for you, ask yourself the following:


 * Do you want the latest stable software, produced and maintained by a growing community of FOSS contributors?
 * Do you want a platform that features technologies that use or become the next generation of standards?
 * Are you OK with moving your computer's OS a minimum of about once a year to use these technologies?
 * Do you care about sustainable progress in software freedom and innovation?
 * Are you interested in becoming part of a community of contribution and helping drive innovation in FOSS by contributing code, documentation, translation, administration, or otherwise participating?

If the answer to any or all of these questions is "yes," you should consider Fedora as your operating system. We feature the latest in free and open source technologies, and much of this innovation is driven primarily by contributors in the Fedora Project. Because of our dedication to working continuously with upstream software communities, your involvement with Fedora -- whether to file a bug or to maintain part of the distribution -- is a direct help to all FOSS users worldwide, not promoting a single distribution at the cost of others. This is why the work done in Fedora is used in so many other Linux distributions. By the same token, we actively take an interest in all vital upstream projects to promote good engineering practices and a smooth user experience across distributions.
