i know that Fedora is not alone responsible, mostly it's a braindead 
upstream not giving a damn about users and just when things start to 
work smoothly make *incompatible* rewrites again and again

who which is right in his mind could recommend a Linux desktop to 
anybody knowing that this happens regulary? Linux will never ever have a 
marketshare because developers have nothing better to do than 
incompatible changes and not care about users which just want to use 
their computers and that point even affect developers whos time for 
wokring on other software get burned down by having to deal with their 
own basic setup all the time to get workflow back or adopt changed workflows

it just burns ressources left and right and no Fedora.next or whatever 
is able to compensate that damage - period
