Which is better, Fedora or Ubuntu? Which server image to select

Today, a friend asked which is better, Fedora or Ubuntu? Because when an overseas service provider is selected to install the system image, only Fedora and Ubuntu images can be selected, which is really rare. General servers include CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian. In fact, Fedora is also a popular Linux image, but it is more popular abroad, and Ubuntu is the most popular image in China. At present, Lao Zuo uses Ubuntu.

Which is better and what is the specific difference between Fedora and Ubuntu?

First, comparison between Fedora and Ubuntu

1. What is Fedora

Fedora is an open source operating system sponsored by Red Hat, which contains software distributed under various licenses. Fedora is the upstream source of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which means it is considered as a testing ground for Red Hat flagship products. Fedora was first released on November 6, 2003, and tends to focus on innovation, integration of new technologies, and cooperation with the upstream Linux community, so this work is applicable to all Linux distributions.

2. What is Ubuntu

Ubuntu is an open source operating system based on Debian sponsored by Canonical. The initial version of Ubuntu was 4.10 (Warty Warthog) in October 2004. There are three different versions of Ubuntu: desktop desktop version, server server version, and core Internet of Things specific version.

3. Fedora vs. Ubuntu

Second, Fedora and Ubuntu options

From the application field, Fedora and Ubuntu are common server images. If Fedora uses the traditional GNOME on the desktop, it still uses the Ubuntu desktop in most domestic documents. However, in the cloud server website building or application field, we are more or more accustomed to using Ubuntu, whether it is document support or software support.

Therefore, even Fedora is a relatively well-known host system, but from the user level, we still use Ubuntu more in China. So we suggest that you also choose Ubuntu.
