Introducing Fedora Workstation and Oracle Virtual Box

Fedora Workstation is a reliable, user-friendly, and powerful operating system for your laptop or desktop computer. It supports a wide range of developers, from hobbyists and students to professionals in corporate environments. The Fedora Project is a partnership of Free software community members from around the globe. The Fedora Project builds open source software communities and produces a Linux distribution called “Fedora.”

Our Mission
The Fedora Project’s mission is to lead the advancement of Free and open source software and content as a collaborative community.

Sleek user interface
Focus on your code in the GNOME 3 desktop environment. GNOME is built with developer feedback and minimizes distractions, so you can concentrate on what’s important.

Complete open source toolbox
Skip the drag of trying to find or build the tools you need. With Fedora’s complete set of open source languages, tools, and utilities, everything is a click or command line away. There’s even project hosting and repositories like COPR to make your code and builds available quickly to the community.

GNOME Boxes & other virt tools
Get virtual machines up and running quickly to test your code on multiple platforms using GNOME Boxes. Or dig into powerful, scriptable virtualization tools for even more control.
