You can run it with as good an integration as Fedora on... well, Fedora and
spins/remixes.
That's a valid point. Ubuntu is Unity, and Debian's popcon indicates
only 30% installations have gnome-shell. But Fedora has gnome-shell in majority
of installations, so it's justified to say that Fedora is Gnome, and Gnome
is Fedora.
I don't see what the big issue about the background logo is:
it is small, unobtrusive, and a lot like a sticker ;)
So yeah, let's work on the best possible integration of Gnome and
Fedora, and not attach too much weight to details like that: after all
it's not something that users complain about.
