Maybe it would be good for Fedora (and other Linux distributions) to help Mint developers in advancement Cinnamon as gnome-shell replacement in GNOME 3 environment.
Since it is impossible to influence the development of gnome-shell it would be nice to have some replacement. Unfortunately that is waste of time and resources. I assume that main goal for Linux generally is to have bigger and bigger user base. Decent GNOME DE could be key point for achieving this goal. Many users haven't proper technical skills to hack DE.
Waiting for GNOME developers to polish all GNOME environment and make it usable for non-technical users is just waste of time. Linux distributions have no time for that luxury.
At least that is my humble opinion.
Over the last several generations of students I made a big effort to spread FOSS and Linux movement. Unfortunately after GNOME 3, many of them have a problems, especially hardware issues, to run latest Fedora versions. Almost half of them give up from Linux because hardware incompatibility or lack of technical skills to make GUI usable and user friendly.

As you can see, this is a process that requires back and forth quite a
bit. Help is welcome.
