There are lots of different distros - and the important word is different, as that is what gives us choices. It would be worse if we worked towards making all those distros the same (as well as being a waste of time). Fedora is probably not the correct choice for a user who wants it "just to work", for that something like Ubuntu is the better choice. Fedora is for those who are able and prepared to do some work understanding it and configuring it to work as they want. And since you are prepared to patronise peoples wives as typical of an unskilled user who is unable to use Fedora, I feel able to say I think it is your tendency to not properly understand things that makes you so often make statements on this list that are just plain wrong. Perhaps Ubuntu would be a better choice for you - if it is there is nothing wrong with that.
