I'm a Fedora user for my workstation, I guess you have to be a person used to change. For desktop so far it has been a good experience, surprisingly worked better than Ubuntu has been on my machine (I'm not flaming Ubuntu, it works great for a lot of people that I know including my mom who can even install it on her own). The only real perceived fuck up is the new Anaconda GUI, I think it needs to be remade, they split from the step by step style of wizard and it doesn't really helps a lot. I really like some of the administrative tools like firewalld they are quite intuitive and useful, and the new stuff that I don't like... well I just don't use them. I still update from command line, and use the old tools which work fine.
I think you are not really asking tho... just expressing your dislike for Red Hat and Fedora in the old Linux-er fashion of calling out a windows clone when it's not your distro of choice.

I fail to see if I actually misused the term or if you just meant to elaborate more on my answer.
I'm argentinian as well (but not from buenos aires). As I read the tax is pretty much a tax applied to the company not the customer, arguably one of the most reasonable ( and minimal) taxes that have been applied since the current administration is in. The 35% tax mentioned on TFA is way more rage-inducing, as well as the 40% tax on all technological goods ( from cellphones to computers) which pretty much stabbed our slowly growing software development industry.
The parent AC here is oversimplifying the matter, even though I won't defend our politicians since they'd make blush the most corrupt of US senators. As of standards of living, we are way far (still) from being like an african country, but we are on our way to civil crisis and socioeconomical failure. Crime has gone up, welfare subsidies are not enough to maintain poor families, workers are going on strike, and the currency is devaluating by the minute.
Most of latest measures taken by the government are futile attempts to slow down a crisis that they almost averted ( during Duhalde and then Nestor Kirchner period), but then accelerated again during CFK government, skyrocketing government expending on ridiculous attempts to buy the poor people's will, among them there are, the increase of welfare subsidies to a point where jobs became non-competitive, buying rights for most ( if not all) sports events ( your usual pay-per-view match is watchable in Full-HD air TV here), and fundings to ghost factories (which is one of the many ways they get the money in their pockets).
The reason is pretty much clear, CFK government was plagued by political unstability, her own party splitted and they had to find a way to buy the will of the people and become a contemporary Evita. Most of the supporters of nestor kirchner left her, many with the hopes of finding their own way to the presidential chair ( such as trucker's union leader Moyano), still her party controls the majority of the senate and they even attempted to make the judges of the supreme court eligible via the means of common vote ( in an attempt to complete their control of the three government's powers).
The current government is basically riding a bull on a glass shop, and they don't really care about anything but to stay on top.
This changes everything, I'll be able to tell my children "at your age I had to walk 10 miles to school, with 10 feet of snow, uphill and crossing the river on fire"
Try pressing the ctrl key with the left side of your hand rather than your pinky. I always wondered why so many people have that problem.
You're welcome.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I recall a story here on slashdotr when WoW started: some user complained that he was banned for using Wine, it turned out that he was using a programmable keyboard to automate gold farming. So this is definitely not new. Even though I don't like Blizzard bussiness model it seems that is just a common excuse and Blizzard it's pretty good at trying to deliver a decent gaming experience to linux users (taking into account they aren't a bussiness target for them).
"Note that this feature does not prevent you from using yum and other commandline tools to install updates whenever you want to. We also differentiate updates of 'OS components' (which we want to do in this offline fashion) from application updates and installations, which should still be possible from the UI without restarting the system.
The differentiation between 'OS components' and applications is necessarily a heuristic, since Fedora only knows about packages. The initial heuristic is that a package is considered an application if it installs a desktop file that is shown in the menus. This is not perfect and can be refined when additional metadata becomes available.
Also note that this feature is about implementing offline updates for GNOME. Other spins are not affected, although they could choose to use the same systemd and PackageKit infrastructure, and provide a similar experience. "
So we will still be able to do "yum update", and packagekit will remain behaving "normally" on the KDE Spin (at least for a while). So if it's just an option for GNOME users, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.
What is scary is the logic behind these changes, which seems to be: "Windows and OSX have nice screens to update and reboot so we must reboot too"
I don't get why people keep complaining about GIMP not being like Photoshop. Last time I tried Photoshop I was really confused with all that bloated toolbars with tiny icons, you can't even tell the difference between them, and they are just difficult to click. I know, that new users are more familiar with that crappy UI, but that doesn't mean that we have to copy all those ugly UI design mistakes just to please them.

Many contributors of BfW are not native english speakers. Perhaps the project could use your help tracking and fixing all those errors?

As idiotic as it is, your inane first post sounds more insightful than whatever pushed the modder to mod that fucking book.
