Basically, in Fedora installed from live OS you have some bloat: the Anaconda installer itself, some (typically) unneded drivers and libraries and legacy-init service which starts each time you run the OS and checks whether the OS is installed or not to setup "live ISO" experience if needed. In contrary to Ubuntu's installer, Fedora's installer it not able to do cleanup and uninstall itself from the copied OS. With live ISO, the installer does not actually install the OS, it just copy-pastes files from the OS which it lives itself and configures some stuff in the copied OS. If you use net install, the Anaconda installer offers more options and it is actually installing the OS. I install Fedora from net install instead of live ISO. ![]() (Yep, Linux users don't like this kind of facts but still: defaults are needed to make Linux attractive for software developers.) The only desktops which matter in Linux ecosystem are GNOME and KDE, and GNOME is much better supported by corporations and it's de facto the default desktop environment in Linux. Fedora is designed to be used with GNOME, IMHO other spins are just for convenience and to respect freedom of community. So it’s a pretty solid concept, it’s just early days for Linux with the main downside being you have to install things with flatpak or if there is no flatpak package you use rpm-ostree which installs your package like normal but you must reboot to apply the change. This is the same concept used in chromeOS, android, iOS and macOS. This means that your OS is always in a basically identical state to every other silverblue user so updates should always be successful and if they aren’t you can easily revert to a previous working state. For docker there's portainer (web UI to manage containers), but honestly the CLI is way faster. It's usually recommended not to use DE's on servers, setting up Plex/Emby is really simple with containers (docker/podman) and you'll have to use CLI anyway with those. If you haven’t seen the details yet, how it works is it treats the OS and OS directories as an immutable image which is mounted as read only, then all of your user programs are stored in your own users space instead of being inserted among system files like they would with a package manager. The major difference is that WS has a DE installed (gnome) while server does not. The appeal is it’s almost impossible to break the OS, makes OS updates much safer and makes reporting bugs easier and more reproducible.
