I discovered this distribution on my own. Nobody recommended to me that it was the "one" to use. I like it. I like that it doesn't include proprietary software and I don't see any reason for Fedora to go out of the way to accommodate non-free software, especially when the proprietary software makers do everything they can to make sure free software dies. Why should anyone hate free software? It empowers people, you think in terms of playing music and opening word docs, there are plenty of distros that cater to that, that is their right, that is not what I want on my desktop. So what, I ask you, is wrong with one distribution out of hundreds taking a principled stand?Is that not their right? If you don't like Fedora then don't use it. Why are you using Fedora anyway?
