If listening means having others do the work of scratching other
people's itches, that's not likely to happen. OTOH, I have found that
it's very easy to get involved and start fixing things that I find
could use improvement within Fedora, be it packaging, infrastructure,
and many other areas. The people who do the work are more than happy
to have new help.
Agreed!
I have been using Red Hat since version 5 and Fedora since version 3.
I fully understand that the system I use is cutting edge, some things
don't work but almost everything does work.
My problems, few that they are, are on the list for all to review. They
amount to my having done something I should not have. Some app that is
faulty but gets fixed by the next upgrade or ill configured apps, not
installing something with it's dependencies, (thank heavens for yum). I
have upgrades almost every day of some component or other.
My needs are few.
OO.org, Blender, Audacity, Video editing, Firefox, Thunderbird, media
players, Slide show manipulation, Screen shots, Gimp, Inkscape,
MakeHuman, Scanner, Scribus, Printing, Bluefish, all work with no
significant problems, and last of all (grudgingly) skype which doesn't
transmit my voice. There are about half a dozen other apps I use
irregularly and they also work well.
I would comment here that with Blender I have less problems than my
daughter who uses the same version in XP, which crashes intermittently
and XP has to be reinstalled yearly.
If there are problems, I don't care as long as I have saved my work, I
simply restart the app.
Who would condemn the developers,who, in my books are top folk who do
exemplary work under significant pressure to produce 'Cutting Edge'
technology as best they can. And they do it for you, me and everyone
else, asking nothing in return.
Ph.D may I suggest that you get involved instead of just accepting
something for nothing and demanding that others comply in some way.
Maybe you could itemise your problems, there may be folk who can help
you to isolate and solve.
Group member always have helped me so I speak from years of experience.
