Fedora Linux User Documentation
The Fedora docs team
The Fedora documentation provides extensive information on how to install and use the Fedora operating system and the software packaged by the Fedora Project. Fedora is a large project. Therefore, the focus here is on basic explanations and references to detailed documentation of the various subprojects. A special focus is on making it easier for new users to get started.
Free Software has produced outstanding technical achievements and solutions over the past decades. Just one example is the Apache server, which is used today by the vast majority of websites and provides the entire Internet with information. This quickly overshadows a fact that Richard Stallman emphasized as early as 1997:
_"The biggest deficiency in free operating systems is not in the software — it is the lack of good free manuals that we can include in these systems.” footnote:[Free Software and Free Manuals, available from link:http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-doc.html[]]_
It is this spirit that inspires the Fedora documentation team to do the often tough and time-consuming work on our documentation.
You'll find here a bunch of information:
xref:getting-started.adoc[Getting started]
*First time with Fedora Linux?* New users find here extensive information to get Fedora up and running
xref:system-upgrade.adoc[System upgrade]
*Do you already have a Fedora Linux edition or Spin up and running?* You don't need to reinstall your system to get the new release. Fedora has put a lot of work into making an in-place update reliable and fully automated.
xref:release-notes:index.adoc[Fedora 37 release notes]
Contains extensive information about new and modified features of the current release. Users are advised to skim this information to check if they may be affected by one of the changes or are now able to resolve an issue with a new feature
xref:f36@release-notes:index.adoc[Fedora 36 release notes]
Fedora supports the current and the previous release. As a reference here is a quick link to the previous release notes.
In the top bar, you can select older release notes.

Getting help
There are many places on the internet that can help you when you encounter a problem not described in this chapter: discussion boards, blogs, IRC, and more. Some of the more popular places where you can find help include:
link:++https://ask.fedoraproject.org/++[Ask Fedora] - Fedora's knowledge base, available in multiple languages
The #fedora IRC channel on link:++https://chat.fedoraproject.org/#/room/#fedora:fedoraproject.org++[Libera.Chat] - one of the main Matrix/IRC channels used by Fedora users, English only
link:++https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/++[Fedora Project Wiki] - the official wiki for Fedora Project
link:++https://unix.stackexchange.com/++[Stack Exchange] - an English language Q&A board, not specific to Fedora
The above list is by no means complete - you can find help in many other places as well. Additional information about available resources such as IRC channels and mailing lists is available at link:++https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicating_and_getting_help++[].
Before you open a new discussion or ask anyone for help on IRC, you should always do some research on your own. If you are encountering an issue, there is usually a good chance that someone else ran into the same problem before you and published a solution somewhere. Opening a discussion about something already explained elsewhere, or asking a common question that has been answered many times before, is not likely to result in a friendly, constructive response.
When you ask for help troubleshooting problems related to the installation, you may be asked to provide log files generated by the installer. Consult the corresponding documentation to learn how to access a suitable log file.
