Fedora is committed to being an early adopter of software in order to advance development. That means that there are times when some of the software that you use undergoes change, sometimes minor, sometimes major. If you can't deal with change then don't use Fedora and use something that favors stability and resists change. RHEL, CentOS, Scientific Linux, Debian, etc. ---- > > > nope... pretty much all the distro's are wrestling with the same issues. > > For that matter, Apple has done much the same with Lion and Microsoft is > > doing much the same with Windows 8.

Some people actually recognize that the thing we know as a computer is in a state of metamorphosis... tablets, smartbooks, telephones are all various forms of a computer now. Obviously many software developers are taking notice that the form factor is experiencing a shift and thus the software either shifts or risks becoming irrelevant. That was my point about Apple and Microsoft struggling to maintain relevancy by converging their user interface between telephones, tablets and common computer forms. ---- > > I switched to Ubuntu server - wasn't a big deal.
