Summary

A spin dedicated to audio and music enthusiasts.

sudo dnf groupinstall "Audio Production"

This will install all of the audio packages currently on the spin.

1. Go to the nightly composes page.

Download tab

This is the latest version of the Fedora Linux operating system's Jam Edition. It's everything you need to try out Audio and Music Production on Linux—you don't have to erase anything on your current system to try it out, and it won't put your files at risk. Think of it as a portable studio in your pocket. Take Fedora for a jam, and if you like it, you can install Fedora directly to your hard drive straight from the Live Media desktop if you like.
