No, that's *your* conclusion. I run Fedora on my personal desktop and laptop because I like the idea of running a bleeding-edge distro. I'm retired, I have more time on my hands than I really want, and dealing with the fact that not everything in Fedora is ready for "prime time" is a good way for me to keep my tech support skills from getting too rusty and to give back a little something to the community in the form of feedback/bug reports and the help I'm sometimes able to give here and elsewhere. Frankly, I'd not use it in a production environment, at least not for servers, because the constant updates and frequent upgrades can interfere with 24/7 availability, but clearly, there are enough professionals on this list who do exactly that to show you that it's possible if you know your job.

You seem to have a large number of issues with Fedora and have little if anything good to say about it. If that's so, Fedora probably isn't the right distro for you. I don't know enough about what's out there to suggest which one might be right for you, but I do hope you find it. One of the many wonderful things about Linux is that there's no One True Way to do things or One True Distribution that everybody has to use; if one doesn't fit your needs, try a different one. I wish you nothing but good luck in finding a distro that does what you need the way you want it because I'm sure that there's at least one out there that fits your requirements exactly.
