Thoughts about Fedora 21 Desktop

[Peter Laursen]

I am primarily a Windows user (was happy with XP and Wn7 - but am not with
Win8!).  In addition to that I have been using SuSE/OpenSuSE since version
10.0.  I need to test some software running in Wine as part of my job.

I find some shortcomings in Fedora 21 Desktop that makes it not fully
qualifying as a full Desktop version.  There are not enough GUI options for
system's management for a GUI oriented userr - like Windows 'Control Panel'
and SuSE's "YaST" GUI.

I realize that this is probably too late for the 21 GA realese - but here
are my points:

1) I think *deifnitely* that the "Yum Extender" software management GUI
should be included in the  Desktop version as default. I was not aware of
this interface untill someone in Virtualbox Forums pointed my attention to
it.

2) The (human) user created during installation should be added to sudo'ers
list automatically. I cannot think of any other Desktop oriented distro
that does not.  If you are not a *Fedora hawk* , hs no experience with
Linux, this is actually somewhat non-trivial.

..

3) And please consider GUI options for user management, service/daemon
management etc. as priorities for future developments in order to develop
Fedora into a fully Desktop oriented distro (use YaST as inspiration, for
instance).


Please consider this a positive feedback.
