Distribution Overview

Like many other Linux distributions, Fedora 25 comes with updated kernels and support for new technologies in the system. Developers continue to improve the user interface interface and optimize performance.

One of the new technological advances in Fedora 25 is the support for Wayland, which will replace Xorg as the default graphics system. Wayland provides a clean, lightweight and transparent user interface, improved security and more accurate rendering of windows.

By default, the system uses the DNF package manager, which was introduced in Fedora 22 to replace the old yum. DNF provides a faster and more functional way to manage packages. The system integrates open source Eclipse and NetBeans, which can be used to develop Java applications on Linux.

Fedora 25 is not the most stable version and may seem unreliable to some users. However, it provides full access to all the latest developments of developers and can be used for development or compatibility testing.
