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.

If you want a KDE Fedora powered experience I definitely have to suggest Universal Blue Kinoite-main or Bazzite-Desktop. 🤟
Universal Blue project is OCI RPM OSTREE container native, atomic Fedora.
Silverblue/Kinoite/Serica/Onyx, but with extra batteries+codecs+hardware acceleration out of the box.
Bazzite is pretty amazing 🎮:
Project Bluefin for Developers 🦖:
If you update your normal Fedora system, they should all be running the same kernel.
Sometimes the installers can be stale....you can try installing ISOs from the net installer or nightlies:
Rather... I tried to find links to share... But everything looks to be rawhide... 😕
On atomic side, ublu automatically updates the system image, any layered RPMs as well as flatpaks and other containers/Docker/Podman/Distrobox.
Like Steam OS, if you want to enable -testing channel for updates on Ublu, you can make it more bleeding edge.
So you convinced me, and not being a novice, I didn't read the install instructions and just went for it. It wrecked my dual boot efi partition. No worries, been there done that before, spent all morning trying to get the eufi shell and grub sorted out. After a few hours of failing, I'm like hey I planned for this, I've got a USB recovery for windows, and my actual data is all backed up via syncthing (thanks to this community). Why am I bothering with this nonsense.
Omg.... Recovering windows takes foreeeeever. So then I'm reading the kenoite instructions and it calls out that dual booting doesn't work, here is a suggested partition scheme... Ffs... Anyway for anyone that doesn't want to waste an entire day on this, rtfm.
FWIW, I've put some effort into explaining how a dual boot of Windows 10 and Fedora Atomic (read Silverblue/Kinoite/Sericea etc) can be achieved. While it's far from exhaustive, it should be fine as long as your specific installation of Fedora Atomic doesn't require special attention (which happens sometimes with owners of an Nvidia GPU*). After Fedora Atomic is successfully installed, proceed with following the instructions found on the following parts of uBlue's documentation: here, here and finally pick whichever uBlue image you'd like to install from this list; specific instructions are found directly underneath the text boxes for each individual image, but ensure you're installing the one with the correct Fedora version (37/38/39/stable/latest etc (which are accessed via tabs)). If you can't decide on which version you'd like to install, then just go for 39.
