Using that analogy, Ubuntu is Davids stone... throw away.

People that use Fedora believe in its philosophies, if they're not for
you, there are around 300 more distros to pick and choose from.

Having that many distros should be proof enough that one size doesn't
fit all.

Given the breadth of choices available to the Linux user, why should
RedHat cave to those that believe playing an MP3 out of the box is worth
risking their company over?

Fedora has never been intended for your Grandparents, it is intended for
people that wish to play with the latest and greatest Linux has to
offer.
