According to Fedora Devel List, I have got some hope about this issues I
have explained. May be soon we will get all the solutions. If not in this
release (Fedora 11), then may be in Fedora 12.
Thanks.

The goal of fedora isn't to make it super easy for new users to
Linux.
That's ubuntu's job. Fedora aims to be a free, usable OS. I agree with some
of your points but I don't think they are part of the goals of Fedora.
Fedora isn't meant to compete with other operating systems. It aims to
provide an independent solution to users.

Hi,
It´s almost one year, I am with the Fedora community. In this one year, I
met so many great people from Fedora community. I have visited hundreds of
forums, mailing lists. I meet so many people who uses Fedora (also who
doesn´t). I have learned so many things from them. Some of them are happy
using Fedora and some them are not. And I think, as a community member, it´s
my responsibility to inform you guys about some issues that I think, why
people doesnt like to use Fedora or switching to other distros. And
something, that we need to fix.
1. Need to include RPM Fusion with Fedora 11 default installation (but not
activated, like Fedora test repo or raw hide, as we don´t include
proprietary software). If this is not possible (may be because of some legal
issue), then I´ll say, we need a working GUI solution to install RPM Fusion.
According to RPM Fusion <
http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration> they
explained a GUI solution to install the repo, but most of the time, it
doesnt work at all (I myself, tested thousands time, also so many people
there has, who tried, I searched for the solution, everyone give me CLI
solution). And KPackage Kit can´t install it. So we need a solution that
will work for GNOME and KDE both.
2. Need a GUI solution to install nVidia and ATI driver, that will
automatically install the appropriate driver (Ubuntu has a GUI *Hardware
Drivers *options that automatically download and install the driver, also
they have Envy, its another GUI solution)
3. Need a GUI solution to install all kind of proprietary Multimedia codecs
(Ubuntu has ubuntu-restricted-extras, they simply select it from package
manager, and it installs all kind of codecs including JAVA)
4. Need a complete GUI solution to install softwares offline from cache
(ofcourse if it can fix the dependency) or DVD Media.
5. There has a very easy way to install a rpm package from CLI (one single
package, that has not any dependency issue or if it has, it´s possible to
install the package by ignoring it). But from Fedora 9, GUI double click rpm
install doesnt work at all. So, we need a GUI solution of it.
6. Need to add CD/DVD repo with Fedora 11 default installation, so people
can use DVD to install softwares.
7. From /etc/yum.conf we need to edit keepcache=0 to 1 as default. So
people can use the cache to install software later or to some other PC.
Many of you will say, why we are following Ubuntu? Well, I´ll say, no, we
are not following them. This is the truth, what users want. And many of you
will think, this ideas are stupid, but truth is If this issues we can fix,
for sure, so many people will start using Fedora. My apologies, if I am
wrong anywhere.
