Chapeau is a high-performance, cutting-edge operating system built from the GNU/Linux distribution Fedo
ra Workstation with the GNOME desktop environment. In comparison to Fedora, Chapeau adopts a more relaxed approach
to software licences and is intended to be just as useful for advanced users as it is easy for those new to using a
Linux system. There is built-in access to third-party software and sources repositories not included in Fedora suc
h as RPMFusion, DropBox, Steam, Adobe Flash and Oracle VirtualBox. Chapeau also includes pre-installed core package
s to make the installation of new kernel modules pain-free, built-in remote and virtual system management tools, a
selection of maintenance tools that come in especially handy when running Chapeau's live image on a DVD or USB driv
e to analyse and fix broken systems.
The Chapeau project has released a new version of its Fedora-based distribution. The Chapeau distribution offers users a Fedora-compatible desktop distribution for the 64-bit x86 architecture. Chapeau ships with third-party software which is not available in Fedora by default due to packaging or licensing concerns. The latest version, Chapeau 23, offers users GNOME 3.18, LibreOffice 5, PlayOnLinux, Steam and Firefox with Adobe Flash enabled by default.
