Fedora is about 1000 X as stable as Windows.
Believe it or not, I don't *want* to be a Linux guy, or a SysAdmin nor
track versions of 100 software packages nor subscribe to a half-dozen
security forums, nor ...
I just want to USE my computer to do what I wanted to do with it.
I don't fix my own car either.
So I use Fedora and let the experts handle the software updates.
I've tried other systems, and, yes, it was nice to have a lean mean
computing machine and to have complete control and all that -- It also was
incredibly expensive on my time, which is my most limited resource, right
ahead of the almighty dollar.
