        I am writing this because I am beginning to get frustrated with
        Fedora 16. I am on the verge of going back to Fedora 15 so I can
        have some peace of mind. There was a time up until now that
        after a RC release it would settle down and run nice but with
        this Release that is not the case. I am not giving up on Fedora
        as a whole but when you can't make anything run without freezing
        screens and nvidia drivers won't install it becomes frustrating.

      
      Maybe I made a lot of changes at once, from a HP nc2400 with f14
      to a Lenovo x120e with f16.  I have not noticed any slowdowns even
      though the HP was a duo core and the Lenovo is single.  So I would
      put the suspect on the nvidia cruft.  And nvidia for some reason
      has been a long time sore spot with Fedora.

      
    I just re-installed Fedora 16 on my desktop and before the
    re-install every thing was running fine. Now Gnome3 is freezing and
    nautilus is having trouble opening and the list goes on. I agree
    with Christopher and Cox, maybe there needs to be a slow down on the
    eye candy and work on a solid foundation for the eye candy to run
    on. It seems that we are falling into the cart before horse
    syndrome.
