The State of Fedora: We’re Not Just for Fanboys

“With over 20 million installations, Fedora is among the most
world’s popular Linux distributions. While that kind of success has
been due to a rapid base of supporters, the distro originally

hardcore enthusiasts in the fold.

Frields, it’s key to the distro’s continued growth.

“”I’m not interested in a shotgun approach where we reach every
