What Fedora needs is some direction - and online upgrades
Some of the biggest problems I see in Fedora these days are the following:
1. Lack of direction
Since Fedora is a distribution for developers by developers in order to test out new technology, the main tree ends up being a hodge-podge of whatever each individual maintainer feels like working on. Unless there is an individual or small group of individuals that desires things to be a certain way, then you have to abide by those rules (take for example, no kmods in Fedora).
If Fedora had a better sense of what it should be doing it would polarize developers along the same path rather than everyone working for their own goals.
2. Upgrades aren't supported - All hail Anaconda - the great upgraderinstaller!
Fedora (and RHEL/CentOS) needs to be able to upgrade online, using a tool like yum (or smart, or apt - I don't really care which tool it is - right now it seems smart could handle it better than yum). Most of the other distros can do this without problems (Gentoo, Ubuntu, Debian).

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
