We're in the process of rolling out Fedora Linux on our managed laptops. While I see the potential debate over the choice of this distribution, we've committed to it. I'm aiming to find an endpoint detection and response (EDR) vendor that offers solid support for Fedora, whether it's detailed in their documentation or proven through user experiences. Unfortunately, most vendors I've encountered provide lackluster support or only focus on versions that are about to lose support altogether. I understand Fedora isn't the most stable choice, lacking an LTS release, but we're moving forward with it anyway. So I'd appreciate it if we could focus on viable EDR solutions that work well with Fedora. Thanks for any insights!

Typically, EDR vendors shy away from supporting distributions like Fedora that might change significantly every year. Your best bet could be finding an EDR that backs RHEL and cross your fingers that things don’t break when users upgrade every six months! Just a heads up—this might drive you a bit crazy.
Honestly, I don’t know of any EDR that currently supports Fedora. Most vendors generally stick with Ubuntu as their go-to choice for desktop environments.
Why not consider using a different distro instead of Fedora? It might save you some headaches down the line!
On the bright side, Microsoft Defender for Linux does technically support Fedora 42. Personally, I’ve only run it on Ubuntu distros for compliance reasons, but I deploy it seamlessly through Ansible with Microsoft’s pre-made playbook and it works pretty well for my needs.
