Fedora uses RPM package management and software can be easily found in Fedora. We can easily download and install packages using yum package manager or Gnome software which is graphical package manager. There are third party repositories too for providing software in Fedora, of which RPM Fusion is one of the most famous repositories. Fedora also provide a service named Copr which let's the users to create their own repository.

Fedora is rather very stable distro but along with the stable part, Fedora is indeed popular for it's bleeding edge nature. Fedora is known for bringing new technologies, experimenting new innovations. Fedora also provide strong security. It provides various security modules to customize and give a strong security to your PC. Fedora also works on upstream communities of Linux due to which the innovations are not only limited to Fedora but available for all the Linux distro.
