Is also worth noting that installing additional > codecs on Windows is of a equivalent pain that on Fedora.

Well you can open doc/x files using Wordpad. But given that most OEMs ship some version of Office that's a moot point. > > # Miscellaneous = PDF, torrent, common archives. > > > Windows: No(!), No, No. > > Fedora: Yes, Yes(?), Yes (except RAR, for no reason). Where is the free RAR implementation? (That's probably the only reason) And btw. I don't think installing a torrent client by default makes any sense. As for PDF that's true but OEMs tend to include something. > # Graphic Cards = Intel, AMD, Nvidia. > > > Windows: No, No, No. -> Wrong; Wrong; Wrong > Fedora: Yes, Yes, Yes. > > > Conclusion: Oh, boy!

So you might not like it but it "works better" out of the box for most people. "Oh windows is bad" doesn't really help us ... "Windows does X and Y better" OTOH does because it allows us to improve. -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
