(Warn. Rant-ish) Why is Fedora 15 so weird!
 

I don't understand Fedora. I feel like I'm running Slackware/Ubuntu/and Arch. I try to install things and its like Ubuntu and arch where its mostly command line. Things are constantly conflicting like when I used Slackware and then that damn SElinux has been stepping on my toes all the time. Then I try to use GNOME 3 and I can't pin things. Google-Chrome and other apps can't find their settings for some reason as well. I'm very confused.

Please is there a way that I can like look up information about fedora to understand it? I feel like it could be an awesome OS to work with if I could just understand why its so damn weird. Google searches about fedora have not turned up much for me and their wiki doesn't seem to have the information I need. Instead its mostly full of information for those who use/maintain fedora.

Well, your feeling is'nt that far off...Fedora 8 was my first one. And I loved it all the way. But...it's Fedora. I noticed you're using Arch. Well, keep that up. Fedora is version based, and YOU are the beta tester for the Red Hat version. A lot is broken, and can be mended, but it's a learning curve every time. From (fresh) install until backup for a new install...

Of course there is, they have a forum too, you know...

Fedora moves too fast, that's why I left it ... "there"...

Enjoy the rant, it's okay as far as I'm concerned...

It's been full of help on how to do all those things that Gnome 3 hasn't got round to implementing yet. But it is a very experimental distro these days. They were going to make btrfs the default instead of ext4 in the next version, but luckily they noticed that fsck doesn't support it yet!
