feel free to use Ubuntu if it better suits your needs.

Fedora remains committed to only free / non-patent encumbered,
non-license encumbered packages and your complaint is about software
(nVidia proprietary video drivers) that Fedora makes no effort to
embrace. This is a conscious and deliberate decision. Whatever Google,
Ubuntu, Sun, Arch or anyone else does is not material to the discussion
- Fedora does not concern themselves with the 3rd party software that is
clearly not compatible with the GPL license. You should be able to
understand this.
