Free Linux OS, built for developers
Fedora Workstation is the best Linux OS for developing cutting-edge applications.
PROSFedora Workstation is an open-source operating system for personal computers. Best suited for developers who want to implement cutting-edge Linux features. Sleek GNOME desktop environment, open-source utilities, scriptable virtualization, and OCI image support are the best features of the Fedora Workstation.
CONSIt's less stable and slower than similar operating systems like Ubuntu and CentOS. Minor display bugs when running applications. Lacks minimize and maximize buttons for a window.
Reason for choosing Fedora Workstation
We choose Fedora Workstation over other alternatives for its commitment to making a developer-friendly Linux operating system.
Reasons for switching to Fedora Workstation
Fedora Workstation supports the latest software updates, its GNOME desktop environment is clean and user-friendly. The community is active with a promise to update the OS every six months.

Fedora Workstation: The Free Linux Distribution with Great Desktop Interface and Tools
Great experience relying on the Fedora Workstation Linux distribution to teach operating system concepts to graduate and undergraduate students. The full power of a Linux system is combined with an appealing user interface and Gnome desktop environment.
PROSFree. Fedoral Workstation is a free Linux distribution with no subscription fees or restrictions. It is designed with an appealing desktop interface that really compels first-time Linux users. I have used it to teach Operating System courses for undergraduate and graduate students and it provided the low level features of a Linux OS and the awesome Desktop interface. Concepts such as the Kernel, shell, access permissions, Inodes, virtual memory, paging, among others can be effectively demonstrated using this Linux distribution. On the other hand, students finds it very intuitive to use and easy to install, configure, and deploy. Very performance-efficient even on VMs and bootable USB sticks. The Fedora project is based on the stable Redhat linux distribution with more experimental tools and utilities. This makes it highly stable and reliable and open for researchers to inspect with its innovative experimental tools.
CONSNot sure if this is a limitation, but the Fedora Workstation updates and releases are so frequent an make the user taken whether to keep following up with the release flow or sticking to an earlier stable version. A trade-off should be followed here based primarily on the environment or task involving Fedora.
Reasons for switching to Fedora Workstation
1. Easier installation and configuration2. More efficient performance on low-end devices

Setup your development workstation with fedora
Its very good experience to use fedora as my workstation. Consume less resources so we can do our work fast and effective with less RAM.
PROSFedora is very good user interface. It is easy to use fedora as compared to other Linux OS. Good for developers to write code and provide all type of service which an Developer need. And even we can deploy our application on fedora. Fedora consume less resources as compared to windows os.
CONSSomething its getting stuck at login screen if you put wrong password. Settings up RDP confirmation is complex.
Reasons for switching to Fedora Workstation
Centos support is over and its UI is not good and little bit difficult to work on it as compared to fedora

An operating system aimed at developers and digital content creators
I have used fedora for several years as an operating system for web development, being a stable and secure system for the same purpose and at the same time handling a number of libraries compatible with multiple programming languages. In another scenario, I have used this Linux distribution as a base operating system to virtualize machines and create a host environment and VMs.
PROSWhat I like the most is its friendly interface and totally oriented towards developers and the different integrations that we can carry out with products and programming tools.
CONSSo far I have only used it for a programming workstation and it has worked
Reasons for switching to Fedora Workstation
This gives me a better user interface and integrations with other tools in an easier way to configure and manage

Review for Fedora Workstation
Fedora Workstation is great for end users who don't want to work as the terminal to perform all configuration tasks on Linux.
PROSEasy to install, use, manage, update and upgrade the system. For new Linux users, it has a graphical interface that demands little cognitive load to learn the system.
CONSSome packages become obsolete in a short time and stop updating in the standard repository, so I recommend using LTS (Long Term Support) versions.
Reason for choosing Fedora Workstation
The system appears to be less burdened with pre-installed software than standard Ubuntu versions.
