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 use Fedora KDE as my homeserver, because it is my media center too. That's the reason for the desktop.
Cons for me:
First I struggled with firewalld, it is more challenging than UFW. I removed it, because my router does the job.
Second SELinux is very annoying at the beginning. You install samba and vsftp and it will not work until you set permissions for SELinux.
SELinux is complicated for the start. Documentation is not very helpful for this imo. It works now. If you want to have an easy way, you can set it to permissive mode. I kept it running.
Pros for Fedora has actual software and I really love DNF 🥰
Thanks for sharing.
