We have a secretary who thinks she has a black box and a telly in-lieu of a PC so, yeah right!, I will put Linux on her box and let her drive it.... If your requirements are simple (email, web) you should be able to get by just fine, otherwise you accept the basic fact that you need to be technically inclined or willing to be enlightened / learn. If i think about 1993 when I was installing Linux on a laptop from a stack of floppies, well I am really impressed with the situation now, so much *bling* in so little effort. Ranting and bitching because you are too lazy to be realistic will not get you anywhere. Besides Fedora is meant to be "a free operating system that offers the best combination of stable and cutting-edge software that exists in the free software world." Stable is good but there is that "cutting-edge" aspect you need to take into consideration...I am not a native English speaker but I do understand the standpoint there ; and you are playing with "testing" packages so stop throwing your toys out of the pram, grow up and become an adult. You might even get some fun along the way...
