I guess it should not be surprising, Gnome has made it clear for many years
now their only target audience is infants and grandmothers. How many of
these users do you think Fedora really has?

Anyhow, why does user need to learn what port is? Can you imagine your
grandma / grandfather learning how to open some port on the firewall?

address the idea that "if the firewall blocks it, the app breaks, so it's

just means it can't be accessed by remote systems until you EXPLICITLY open
that port, with the correct protocol, on your firewall. That's FINE. That's
how it's designed to work. There's nothing wrong with that. This means that
the system administrator (or owner, if this is some individual's personal
system) must allow the port to be accessed remotely, before the app can be
reached remotely, increasing the security of the system.

Expecting users to edit firewall rules to use their apps is ridiculous and
I'm not really interested in debating it.

Yes?
