Review Fedora 24 Workstation Package Management-Part 5
Fedora specific software:
Unfortunately I can't speak to any of this, everything that I can find is far too technical for me. However, Fedora (Red Hat really) have their fingers in a lot of Linux pies. And the absolute reality is, that if there were no Red Hat, there would probably be Linux, but it would be far less than what it is today.

So their over contribution is huge, unfortunately it's all just over my head.
I did test out the Fedora disk image writer to write an iso to a usb. I like it, super simple, quick and easy. I like it.
Package Management:
Package Managers in Linux are very simple. When I switched to Linux, it took some adjusting to the conceptual differences between managing software in Windows and Linux. But once I understood those differences, it's a breeze.
I think the rise of apps and app stores in the last ten years have probably made that a far smaller challenge, or no challenge at all. But the gist of it is, if you're coming from a windows environment to Linux, forget about exe files forever. Just wipe them out of your brain...and be grateful.
Package Managers:
Gnome-software is the default GUI package manager. It's similar to other default package managers. Large, pretty, easy to use and navigate. This is something anyone should be able to open up, find what they want and use.

Yum extender is also available if you install it as a gui package manager. It reminds me of Synaptic. Right away, I see that Yum extender has a "groups" feature, which is very useful for installing software that is naturally bundled (Lamp server, Desktop Environments, etc.). So it's worth checking out.

And of course, there's always the dreaded terminal to handle your package management. Terminal is fun...once you start and get the hang of it, you won't go back to gui package management.
