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.

Fedora uses dracut as opposed to initramfs, so that's also a major difference.
dracut is just an initramfs generator, last I checked.
It is, but has drastically different behavior compared to mkinitcpio or booster. Booting a USB device fails when the image is generated with dracut on main machine, whereas neither of the alternatives exhibit such issues. Also, using booster just "felt" faster on my 6198DU machine.
Fair enough. I don't actually need an initramfs for any of my machines at the moment, so I have only a superficial knowledge.
