Or, even better (or worse): Sombody installs GIMP via GNOME Software,

But then, what will happen when that module is EOL, and the user has
never even interacted with dnf, or modules? Will system upgrades break
and prompt the user to fix something they didn't even know existed,
and have never interacted with?

This has already happened. We have had complaints from people who had never

installed any module, or used the "dnf module" command and they still ended up with

modules installed with a problem to upgrade their computers to F31.

I just got a new computer, an Intel with Nvidia 2060 graphics card. I could NOT get fedora to install or boot. For the first time since fedora 7 I am off of fedora.

Wayland drove me nuts, the changes to the OS were less than perfect, some applications I used to run would not run, and on and on, the inability to install and boot Fedora was the last straw for me. I may come back someday, because up until Fedora 28, things were pretty good. Get back to that standard, and I will likely come back. Meanwhile I will no longer recommend Fedora to my friends until things stabilize.

Good luck, guys. I wish you all the best.
