No, that's *your* conclusion.  I run Fedora on my personal desktop and 
laptop because I like the idea of running a bleeding-edge distro.  I'm 
retired, I have more time on my hands than I really want, and dealing 
with the fact that not everything in Fedora is ready for "prime time" is 
a good way for me to keep my tech support skills from getting too rusty 
and to give back a little something to the community in the form of 
feedback/bug reports and the help I'm sometimes able to give here and 
elsewhere.  Frankly, I'd not use it in a production environment, at 
least not for servers, because the constant updates and frequent 
upgrades can interfere with 24/7 availability, but clearly, there are 
enough professionals on this list who do exactly that to show you that 
it's possible if you know your job.

You seem to have a large number of issues with Fedora and have little if 
anything good to say about it.  If that's so, Fedora probably isn't the 
right distro for you.  I don't know enough about what's out there to 
suggest which one might be right for you, but I do hope you find it. 
One of the many wonderful things about Linux is that there's no One True 
Way to do things or One True Distribution that everybody has to use; if 
one doesn't fit your needs, try a different one.  I wish you nothing but 
good luck in finding a distro that does what you need the way you want 
it because I'm sure that there's at least one out there that fits your 
requirements exactly.
