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.

ARCH!!!
I'm a long time Arch user but it is 100% NOT out of the box. Love Arch but it's not the answer to this question.
I mentioned it as a joke. But come to think of it, why can't it be, except for the fact that each update can potentially break your machine? I mean, just install GNOME, and you'll have the "all out of the box experience," isn't that so? Well, I don't consider myself an experienced Linux user, so please enlighten me if I'm wrong
Edit: i understood the question. Hes asking fedora
