How many users does Fedora have?

[Michel Alexandre Salim]

At the risk of jumping in, here's my own 2 cents on the subject...

While the next-gen Anaconda in Fedora 21 is much improved since its
first iteration in Fedora 18, having just installed Ubuntu 14.04 on a
test VM in the same week, I must say the Ubuntu installer has an edge
mostly in aesthetics -- during the installation process, instead of a
small banner at the bottom for introducing the operating system, you get
an interactive grid of screenshots in the middle of the installation
window, with nice looking left and right toggles.

dnf (hopefully default in F22) and apt are both faster than yum, at
least subjectively. apt now has a really nice colored progress bar that
shows up at the bottom of the terminal when the installation is in progress.
