From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah? Redhat just backs fedora they don't own it. Fedora is completely separate and run by the community
Fedora is not a separate legal entity. Red Hat literally owns it. At one time they had considered creating a separate Fedora Foundation but did not.
Red Hat owns Fedora, just like how they owned CentOS. I think there's a risk that Red Hat will make more anti user moves going forward, and I also think that it's not worth spending time learning the "Red Hat ecosystem" now that CentOS is dead. Get away from Fedora.

Fedora Stream?
I know you are just joking but if Fedora Stream was a rolling release of Fedora, it might be kind of a nice distro. I guess it would be Red Hat’s answer to SUSE Tumbleweed.
Agree. I just feel bad for Nobara, a very good distro for gamers.
