Install Kotlin on Fedora 44 with SDKMAN, the verified JetBrains archive, or Snap. SDKMAN is the simplest per-user path, and each method ends with a JVM compile-and-run check.

Do not copy a Debian LEMP layout onto Fedora. Use the packaged PHP-FPM socket handoff, keep SELinux enforcing, and open HTTP in the active Firewalld zone.

Fedora 44 ships Siege 4.1.7 from official repos, so there is no need for a source build. Install with DNF, keep tests authorised and controlled, and verify HTTP status instead of trusting availability alone.

Keep Fedora 44's RPM-managed Java for shared services and use SDKMAN for per-user JDK and build-tool versions. Pin each project's toolchain with .sdkmanrc.

Since PeaZip is not in Ubuntu's default repos, install it on Ubuntu 26.04, 24.04, or 22.04 through XtraDeb PPA, Flathub, or the GitHub portable helper.
