Fedora: Stop Screwing Up So Much
The Fedora Project is screwing up. Big time. Fedora 11 recently shipped. And it has some fairly cool new features. Then you try to actually use it…
...and you notice the vast army of bugs that, somehow, made it into the final release of Fedora 11.
Here’s just a few highlights that I found simultaneously amusing and agrivating:
* If you have an NVIDIA graphics card (you know, like a huge percentage of the world), you are now defaulted to using the nouveau graphics driver (an open source implementation of the NVidia driver). Great. Except now you can’t do something simple like resume from sleep. That’s right, if you’ve got a laptop with an NVidia graphics chip? Screwed.
* In case you thought it would be safe to use an Intel or ATI/AMD graphics card? Think again.
