Valent, I agree with you. As far as desktop users, the out-of-the-box Linux experience has to be Wow! with little demos of Wow! The installer Anaconda has to be flawless. It still had some hiccups in F7 which I think was related to libata. Another thing in Disk Druid that I would like to see is the ability to install on a degraded RAID-1 array where I declare RAID-1 but then the second mirror is missing. I install this way all the time on systems and then when I add the second hard drive later and place it into the array, it just syncs. Want to go back to just a single drive - no problem. Just fault the device and remove it. No complicated remounting filesystems or anything - very smooth. This way you're always on an md device. I would like to see this actually become the default.
I don't use raid setups but I plan to do some time soon and I completely agree with you - your suggestions would be great. Maybe this is worth staring a separate thread and lobing for it? ;)
All-in-all just make everything that's in F7 work well so that the initial experience for new-to-Fedora folks is really great.
I would like also to see this; especially user switcher which caused me a lot of data and time loss! Really great idea but buggy as hell! And then when I see they removed beagle because it was "buggy" but work for me on lots of systems (7 desktops) I tried flawlessly - and then fedora includes this totally new and buggy feature :(
