I think that distros like PCLinuxOS/openSUSE/Ubuntu are a hundred times more user friendly, and present a much better out-of-the box experience (considering from a newbie user's point of view). This review does perfect justice to what Fedora is: ***A linux newbie's worst nightmare*** I am not saying that it is not a good distro, and I totally agree that it sticks to the true linux spirit (that is, open source), but I certainly would not recommend it to someone who is not already proficient in linux (which, as a fact, most people aren't). This part of your review which says: "Most of the issues aren’t that big of a problem to solve for relatively experienced Linux users but I think they would be show stoppers and scare regular users away from Linux" is perfectly true, and also the biggest drawback of Fedora.
