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.

I’ve always been very confused why fedora isn’t the go to distro…I mean I do understand why Ubuntu is so popular to newcomers but I’ve never understood why fedora always goes unmentioned
It’s by far been my easiest out of the box experience for regular desktop use
There's at least a small part of it related to the name 'Fedora'
