# Getting Started
[Fedora](https://getfedora.org/) is a polished, easy to use operating system for laptop & desktop computers, with a complete set of tools for developers and makers of all kinds. The Fedora OS base is used to build/develop new versions of [Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® (RHEL)](https://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/linux-platforms/enterprise-linux) the world's leading enterprise Linux platform. The OS serves as the foundation for which you can scale existing apps and roll out emerging technologies across bare-metal, virtual, container, and all types of cloud environments.
[Fedora Server](https://getfedora.org/) is a powerful, flexible operating system that includes the best and latest datacenter technologies. It puts you in control of all your infrastructure and services.
[Fedora ARM](https://arm.fedoraproject.org/) is an initiative to bring versions of Fedora tailored for running on ARM-based systems.
[Fedora Silverblue](https://silverblue.fedoraproject.org/) is a variant of the Fedora Workstation that uses rpm-ostree to provide an immutable OS image with reliable updates and easy rollbacks.
[Fedora Kinoite](https://kinoite.fedoraproject.org/) is an immutable desktop operating system. It aims to be extremely stable and reliable. It also aims to be an excellent platform for developers and for those using container-focused workflows. Kinoite is a variant of the Fedora KDE Spin.
[Fedora CoreOS](https://getfedora.org/coreos?stream=stable) is an automatically-updating, minimal operating system for running containerized workloads securely and at scale.
[Fedora Spins](https://spins.fedoraproject.org/) is for those that prefer an alternative desktop environment such as KDE Plasma Desktop, MATE; or Xfce, you can download a spin for your preferred desktop environment and use that to install Fedora, pre-configured for the desktop environment of your choice.
[CentOS Stream](https://www.centos.org/centos-stream/) is a continuously delivered distro(uses the Fedora OS base) that tracks just ahead of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) development, positioned as a midstream between Fedora Linux and RHEL.
[Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS](https://ostreedev.github.io/ostree/#operating-systems-and-distributions-using-ostree) is a derivative of Fedora CoreOS, used in [OpenShift 4](https://try.openshift.com/). The [machine-config-operator](https://github.com/openshift/machine-config-operator/blob/master/docs/OSUpgrades.md) manages upgrades. RHEL CoreOS is also the successor to RHEL Atomic Host, which uses rpm-ostree as well.
[EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux)](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/) is an free and open source community-based repository project from the Fedora team which provides 100% high-quality add-on software packages for Linux distribution including RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) and CentOS Stream.
[DNF(Dandified Packaging Tool)](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/dnf/) is a software package manager that installs, updates, and removes packages on Fedora and is the successor to YUM (Yellow-Dog Updater Modified). DNF makes it easy to maintain packages by automatically checking for dependencies and determines the actions required to install packages.
[Micro DNF](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/MajorUpgradeOfMicrodnf) is a lightweight C implementation of DNF, designed to be used for doing simple packaging actions when you don't need full-blown DNF and you want the tiniest useful environments possible. Checkout the [Micro DNF GitHub](https://github.com/rpm-software-management/microdnf).
[Fedora Updates System](https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/) is a place to create, test, and publish package updates for Fedora.
[BuildStream](https://gitlab.com/BuildStream/buildstream) is a flexible and extensible framework for the modelling of build pipelines in a declarative YAML format, written in python.
[Asahi-Fedora-Builder](https://github.com/leifliddy/asahi-fedora-builder) is a script that builds a minimal Fedora image to run on Apple M1/M2 systems.
[CoreOS Assembler (COSA)](https://github.com/coreos/coreos-assembler) is a collection of various tools used to build Fedora CoreOS style systems, including RHEL CoreOS. The goal is that everything needed to build and test the OS comes encapsulated in one (admittedly large) container.
[OSTree](https://ostreedev.github.io/ostree/) is an upgrade system for Linux-based operating systems that performs atomic upgrades of complete filesystem trees. It is not a package system; rather, it is intended to complement them. Checkout the [OSTree GitHub](https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree).
OSTree
[rpm-ostree](https://coreos.github.io/rpm-ostree/) is a hybrid image/package system. It combines [libostree](https://ostreedev.github.io/ostree/) as a base image format, and accepts RPM on both the client and server side, sharing code with the [dnf](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNF_(software)) project; specifically [libdnf](https://github.com/rpm-software-management/libdnf). Thus bringing many of the benefits of both projects together.
[Pulp](https://pulpproject.org/) is a software repository platform for Fetching, Uploading, Organizing, and Distributing Software Packages.
Pulp Platform
[Pulp OSTree Plugin](https://github.com/pulp/pulp_ostree) is a Pulp plugin to support hosting your own OSTree content.
[RPM Package Manager (RPM)](https://rpm.org/) is a powerful package management system capable of building computer software from source into easily distributable packages installing, updating and uninstalling packaged software querying detailed information about the packaged software, whether installed or not.
[RPM Fusion](https://rpmfusion.org) is a software repository provides software that the Fedora Project or Red Hat doesn't want to ship. That software is provided as precompiled RPMs for all current Fedora versions and current Red Hat Enterprise Linux or clones versions; you can use the RPM Fusion repositories with tools like yum and PackageKit.
[PipeWire](https://pipewire.org) is a server and user space API to deal with multimedia pipelines.It provides a low-latency, graph based processing engine on top of audio and video devices that can be used to support the use cases currently handled by both pulseaudio and JACK. PipeWire was designed with a powerful security model that makes interacting with audio and video devices from containerized applications easy. Nodes in the graph can be implemented as separate processes, communicating with sockets and exchanging multimedia content using fd passing.
[WirePlumber](https://pipewire.pages.freedesktop.org/wireplumber/) is a modular session / policy manager for [PipeWire](https://pipewire.org/) and a GObject-based high-level library that wraps PipeWire’s API, providing convenience for writing the daemon’s modules as well as external tools for managing PipeWire. The WirePlumber daemon implements the session & policy management service. It follows a modular design, having plugins that implement the actual management functionality.
[Btrfs](https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page) is a modern copy on write (CoW) filesystem for Linux aimed at implementing advanced features while also focusing on fault tolerance, repair and easy administration. Its main features and benefits are:
- Snapshots which do not make the full copy of files.
- RAID - support for software-based RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10.
- Self-healing - checksums for data and metadata, automatic detection of silent data corruptions.
[Anaconda](http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda) is an OS installer used by Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS Stream and other Linux distributions.
[Fedora Labs](https://labs.fedoraproject.org/) is a selection of curated bundles of purpose-driven software and content as curated and maintained by members of the Fedora Community. These may be installed as standalone full versions of Fedora or as add-ons to existing Fedora installations.
[Fedora Special Interest Groups (SIGs)](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:SIGs?rd=SIGs) are teams within the Fedora Project that are less formal than official subprojects. The SIGs are sometimes a first stage in the development of new projects within the Fedora Project.
[Fedora Asahi Special Interest Group](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Asahi) is a Fedora Special Interest Group to get the Fedora image to run on Apple M1/M2 systems.
[Fedora Media Writer](https://fedoramagazine.org/make-fedora-usb-stick/) is a tool in Fedora that will set up your flash drive to run a "Live" version of Fedora Workstation, meaning that you can boot it from your flash drive and try it out right away without making any permanent changes to your computer.
[Etcher](https://www.balena.io/etcher/) is an open source, cross-platform software that makes it easy to flash operating system images to a microSD card or USB device.
