Basic Knowledge
Fedora is a rich and wealthy computer operating system. It gives the users multiple editions can empower different types of computer including desktop and laptop ("Workstation"), server ("Server"), Raspberry Pi-like machines ("IoT"), and Desktop Environment Flavors ("Spins"). Speaking technically, Fedora supports wealthy range of computer architectures namely x86_64, aarch64, and armhfp that means it runs on PC and notebook, as well as kiosk, mediacenters, headless machines, etc. Speaking about the Spins, they are the Fedora version of Ubuntu's Flavors like Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu etc. Fedora is mass produced by Lenovo in their modern ThinkPad laptops. Basic knowledge of architectures is like below:
x86_64:
is
also known as 64 bit PC which is the majority of all used computers and
laptops today. Included in this computers from Apple (Macbook, iMac),
ASUS, Dell, Lenovo, etc. Note that server computers are also mostly
x86_64.
Aarch64:
is
the ARM64, the 64 bit of ARM computer family which the examples are
Chromebooks, your Android smartphones, Android tablets, Raspberry Pi,
and such devices.
Armhfp:
is
the ARM32, the 32 bit of ARM computer family which the examples are
your old Android smartphones, old Android tablets, old Raspberry Pi, and
such devices.
WORKSTATION 34
Fedora Workstation is equal to Ubuntu Desktop so it can be installed on PC, laptop, and such screen-oriented computers. This is the GNOME powered operating system you want.
