Maybe. Maybe not.
Well, to newcomer, it's likely not an obvious political statement, to
Linux veterans supporting Linux rsp. one of it's flavors (here: Fedora)
is a fully conscious active political statement/decision.
This might be news to newcomers who regard Fedora and Linux as "a
technical alternative to Vista", ... but whether you like it or not,
Linux comes with political and philosophical strings attached, whether
you agree to them or not.
Linux is an OS + apps (ls, cp, mv, etc.). Fedora is a (collection) of
distribution(s). SUPPORTERS of Linux/Fedora/whatever come with
political strings attached. OS (and support apps) are used to manage
hardware and load useful apps. This forum comes with supporters, and
their political strings.
I am no newbie to Linux, and I consider it simply a technical
alternative to other OS choices.
However, on your side of the coin, in order to get good support for
Fedora, one has to deal with supporters, mostly through this forum,
which does get one entangled in politics.
