few ideas how to make fedora better as a desktop

[Eric Mesa]

I've been following this sporadically, but if the issue is, as I believe it
is, whether a regular user should be able to run the programs that we
usually save for root, then I say, "have you gone nuts?"  If you want that,
go use windows.

"Do not worry about those things that are outside of your circle of
influence. For since they are outside of your power to control them it is
simply a waste of time and energy to dwell on them. Instead, turn your
attention to those things that you can control and grow your influence in
those areas and you will see the effects begin to trickle out to those items
that were previously out of your power to influence." – Eric Mesa inspired
