I didn't "simply walk away" either back in the day where RHL wouldn't boot without disabling the "Plug and Play operating system" option in the BIOS.You are far from an average user though. There are lots of users that Fedora would like to target that would flinch (at a minimum) when told they have to change their firmware settings first. Even more would be disturbed when you tell them that to run Fedora you have to disable an option called "Secure Boot" (but I want my system to be secure!). You can try to explain it all you want, but they'll latch on to the "disable Secure Boot" and glaze over any explanation. Developers will not have a big problem; they're used to having to enable special options and such for some development or testing work. Fedora isn't just supposed to be for developers though. expressed an interest in trying linux. --
