On some forum today, a claim was made that Ubuntu should be used if

I have nothing against Ubuntu (except for their sudo defaults and lack
of a root passwd by default, but that's another discussion) but that
statement about fedora just wasn't true. So I detailed the four or
five lines it takes in a terminal to get the livna packaging
installed and configured, and the argument then was that it still was
too hard.
If some people really feel that way - well, I guess it could be made
easier.
I don't have a fedora box at the moment so I have only dry run tested
this script in CentOS - but perhaps someone running Fedora can fine
tune this and get it up onto a useful wiki?
Some problem is there I agree ..In ubuntu you get a restricted
drivers manager which is very easy as compared to fedora's yum install
kmod-nvidia from livna..A normal user won't be able to find that command
easily or may not even take the efforts to do that...Also Compiz fusion
is easier to install on ubuntu as compared to fedora...Some work needs
to be done here..But still i love fedora! I guess fedora should give a
separate cd with all codecs and nvidia drivers result:total ubuntu
killer!!! Ah I guess that's not quite possible but still it should be
like whenever a user tries to enable desktop effects it should give the
user an option to download restricted drivers instead of showing
"desktop effects could not be enabled" (which confuses a new user )
