He is speaking for me. I was a RedHat / Fedora user 10 years, 1 month
ago, I became an Ubuntu user.
That's cool, but surely you didn't do it for more KDE?
Being a beta tester for RedHat is OK as a way of life, but the other
companies for which I test stuff give me free samples :)
I guess if you repeat this "beta tester for RedHat" you will
eventually believe it.
It never came clear to me until I read Ann Wilson's post in this
thread: "We should always remember that Fedora
does not set out to be the stable desktop required in most production
situations. You use it at your peril, The fact that it actually
works in most situations is a bonus."
This isn't some deep secret
It never really struck me that way: if you use Fedora, you don't
have
a reason to expect that your PC will actually work. Well, I do need
it to start up sometimes so I can read this group.
That's an exaggeration. You have an expectation that your PC will
work, you just don't have an expectation of having stable software all
the time.
