Problems
[edit]Because the Wikipedia article looks like subjective marketing material there should objectively be "problems" chapter too. For example clearly describing that one should use only the latest version because earlier versions will be unsupported, and if suddenly later on supported then you'll end up upgrading anyway. Due to simple facts like kernel is compiled using gcc version which is not available when you need to compile modules.
Naturally clear statement facts and no whining but please write objectively. seen engineer pornography enough. //arl — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.157.84.67 (talk • contribs)
Change name from "Fedora" to "Fedora Linux"
[edit]The Fedora project has chosen to change the names they use to refer to the Linux distribution and the project. They now refer to the actual distribution as "Fedora Linux" and the project as a whole as "Fedora".

user:Heikkikoskinen's edits
[edit]Heikkikoskinen (talk · contribs) is a new Finnish user that has been registered on 15 January 2022 (6 days ago)(Special:CentralAuth/Heikkikoskinen) and has made many minor and major edits in many pages, I ask other editors to check its edits, because some parts of them are wrong, for example someone please check out "https://fedoralinux.org" because I can't access it from my location (Iran) and searching the Google shows nothing for it, I also ask someone (user:Ahunt for example) to revert its last edits in this article to the last revision by me because I don't want to do edit warring and the user hasn't understand and answer to these notes, thanks. -- FæɹHaad (talk) 15:23, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for your note. I have reviewed @Heikkikoskinen:'s edits and reverted them. I can't access https://fedoralinux.org either as it is flagged as a security issue. https://getfedora.org is still the current project website. This user seem to be here to promote Fedora and especially Rocky Linux and his edits are overall WP:PROMOTIONAL and non-constructive. I have also warned him for a very obvious WP:COI. - Ahunt (talk) 15:32, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
Major edit on lead
[edit]The lead read like promotional material with a lot of secondary information clutter. I made it more compact through several edits. Comments are welcome. Nxavar (talk) 12:34, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
