How often is Fedora released?
The Fedora Project releases a new version of Fedora approximately every 6 months and provides updated packages (maintenance) to these releases for approximately 13 months.
Is there a fedora rolling release?
As others said in this thread, Fedora is not a rolling release by pretty much any definition of the term. There are well-defined major releases which users need to upgrade to, and older releases eventually get discontinued - you can't just do dnf upgrade forever and stay up-to-date.
Is Fedora 34 available?
Fedora 34 is now officially available and it's quite exciting on the feature front especially with the changes to be enjoyed in Fedora Workstation 34.
Which is better Fedora or CentOS?
Fedora is great for open source enthusiasts who don't mind frequent updates and the unstable nature of cutting-edge software. CentOS, on the other hand, offers a very long support cycle, making it fit for the enterprise.
Is Fedora any good?
If you want to get familiar with Red Hat or just want something different for a change, Fedora is a good starting point. If you have some experience with Linux or if you want to use only open-source software, Fedora is an excellent choice as well.
How many packages does Fedora have?
Fedora has around 15,000 software packages, although it should be taken into account that Fedora does not include a non-free or contrib repository.

Is Fedora good for beginners?
A beginner can and is able to use Fedora. It has a great community. ... It comes with most of the bells and whistles of an Ubuntu, Mageia or any other desktop-oriented distro, but a few things that are simple in Ubuntu are a bit finicky in Fedora (Flash used to always be one such thing).
Is Fedora Rawhide stable?
Both Arch and Tumbleweed are still officially stable whereas we never suggest that you actually download and run Rawhide. Yes, you might need it for building future Fedora packages or testing compatibility, but actually running it is still risky (although I know a fellow Fedora developer who runs it on desktop).
Is Solus more stable than manjaro?
As you can see Manjaro wins in Software support, Hardware support, and User support. Solus wins in Ease of use, and Stability.
Is MX Linux a rolling distro?
Is MX Linux a rolling distro? No, but whenever possible migration details are made available to allow users to avoid reinstalling. When the Debian base has changed or a new Xfce version is released (both of which occurred with MX-19), then reinstalling is needed for continued reliable use.
