How to get Fedora to install on our computer

Fedora

One of the most recommended distributions to use by inexperienced people in the Gnu / Linux world is Fedora. This distribution is supported by the RedHat Linux team and also tries to be closer to the end user than RedHat Linux or Gentoo to give some examples.

So much so that the Fedora guys have simplified the information on the Fedora website in order to make the Fedora installation image more accessible, even so we explain how to get the installation image to use it as an installation or as a Live-CD

The first thing we have to do is go to the Fedora website or simply to the Fedora download siteIn any case, reaching the latter is simple. Once there we have three options: Server, Workstation or Cloud. Since we want to obtain an installation image for our computer, we will press the workstation option. Then we will be taken to a website where the download links are. By default, the main link corresponds to a 64-bit image.

Fedora has spins that each have a different desktop and themed versions

It is a perfect image if we have almost new equipment, at least two or three years old, but if it is older we have to make sure the equipment supports 64-bit technologyOtherwise, we will have to opt for the 32-bit image, an image that works for all computers, although in more powerful computers it does not take advantage of its full potential.

This web page is also important because it also shows us other installation options. Like many other distributions, Fedora has versions with different desktops by default. To these distributions they are called spins, just like the flavors in Ubuntu. But in addition, Fedora has special versions aimed at special areas such as design, robotics, video games or security. In this aspect we can download the image we want through this website.

Once we have chosen the spin or version of Fedora we want, the download of an iso file will begin, a disk image that we can later use as a file to create an installation disc or simply to create a bootable usb.
