No, Bastien wasn't kidding, And I don't think your response will lead
this discussion into a productive direction.
Maybe not. I am frustrated. If you have a suggestion for a positive
direction, I would like to hear it.
Since there has not been any progress, I have a basic suggestion that I
think we should start with. For F28, let's do what Endless OS does:
1. A nifty, quick boot animation with their logo and name
2. The logo on a panel in the corner of the screen, always visible and
always on
This may not be perfect, but let's start by following what they're
doing, and we can refine from there as designers come up with even
better ideas.
But if we need to go over it again, lets do it: Fedora needs to
first
and foremost differentiate with awesome functionality. People will
only associate warm and positive feelings with the logo you force
onto them if they are wowed by the experience.
Sure. But: I think we're doing well on that front. All of this stuff as
Christian points out is *awesome*:

We can do more, and we will, but I don't think we need to hold back for
*perfect*.

Have you ever met a fedora user who didn't know how to get to a terminal ?
Honest question, you probably meet more Fedora users than me.
I know some who rarely use it.
