doing exactly what I suggest (making people actually pick their download).
Their download button actually points to a selector, not directly to an ISO.
That would be the SUSE that along with Mandriva got completely panned
when Ubuntu showed up, then?
Is the situation Fedora is in essentially better? I feel no.
Reality is, when mentioning Fedora to Linux users, I am having
difficulties to not get laughed at. "Freaks'/nerds' distro", "Ubuntu is
much easier", "Fedora lacks soooo much", "Way too unstable", "Way too
short life-cycles" are the usual answers.
Let's not go down that path. It's far off topic.
I disagree. Fedora's lack of popularity is largely thanks to these issues.
In this context, I feel the Cinnamon request rsp. the "give users a
choice on DEs" attempts are part of an attempt to escape the at least
one of the dead-end roads Fedora currently is stuck in (The Gnome3
dead-end).
