I smell a bias:
According to the TFA:
1) Ubuntu took 3 attempts attempts to install. But still it got an 8
in that field, compared to Fedora which got 7
2) `System configuration can be fiddly, and configuring wireless
Internet often requires some knowledge as you probably have to set up
NDISwrapper.`.... wtf? Because ubuntu uses some magical kernel which
all wireless drivers work? Notice the `you probably`... ie, he never
tried
3) Maybe we should have a `select which services to keep running` as
part of the installer? You can't deny Fedora enables a LOT of
services, many of which take a bit of time to get going.
Just two weeks ago I have installed Ubuntu on a Dell laptop belonging to
a friend. It only took a couple of mouse clicks and no previous
knowledge (besides the mere "I know there are some binary drivers needed
and they are not included by default"; note the absence of any mention
of a specific repository info here) to have ATI (hence 3D video) and
Broadcom (hence wireless) to have everything working.
Leaving aside any rant or justification about patents and such, from a
user point of view I would have noted Ubuntu with 9 and Fedora with 5.
As for the difference between "it just works " and "dig on google for
what to do in order to add the repository, extract the firmware and
install it"
