Introduction
Abora is a modern Linux distribution that combines the stability and security of Fedora with the user-friendliness of Ubuntu. It's designed for both newcomers to Linux and experienced users who want a reliable, well-designed operating system.
Philosophy
Abora is built on three core principles:
1. Stability First
We use the rock-solid Fedora base, which means you get enterprise-grade reliability without sacrificing modern features. Our kernel is carefully selected and tested to ensure your system runs smoothly.
2. User-Friendly Experience
Taking inspiration from Ubuntu, we've made Abora incredibly easy to install and use. Everything just works out of the box—from WiFi to printing to multimedia playback.

Abora is developed in the open by a passionate community. Every feature is shaped by real-world feedback, and contributions are always welcome.
