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.

Fedora is like it or not one of the most influential and important Distros out there.
Fedora is and will always be cutting edge. They early adopt projects and technologies that absolutely become the standard.
No other distro has this much influence. SystemD, Pipe wire, and other such projects are the norm because Fedora pushed it.
And like it or not, Fedora will make this move very soon with Wayland. Wayland is our inevitable future, like it or not.
I don't see Arch, Debian, and others pushing things like this, but rather falling in line with Fedora.
Fixed that for you ;) .
