Not if you are Microsost! A screen with Windows for every server!

The point is that fedora have not made it possible or at least easy to 
do a *first time* headless boot, Raspbian have.

Once set up you dont need screen or keyboard on either

Really I cant see there is any difference beyond the package management 
system. I used Red Hat back in the noughties, then switched pretty 
seamlessly to debian than to mint and Ubuntu and Raspian.

Especially when using it headless without a GUI.

But its your choice as to *which* long road you take, getting to like 
Debian or installing a monitor and kb on your first fedora server boot...

I have merely informed you that the short cut does not exist...as far as 
my web search has taken me.
