I am glad that this works for you.

<personal>
I have been using Linux for 17 years as my only operating system since I
deleted the windows partitions from my desktop in
2002. I started with Mandrake, moving over Gentoo, to Archlinux and now
Fedora. And I am really proud that I can serve the
Fedora community.

In return, I would love to use Fedora as my primary (and my only) operating
system, because you use what you love and
what you love you want to make better. But if I cannot use it to run my
graphical, musical, and typesetting software nicely from
one single machine, I will not be able to use it primarily. Does it mean,
that I will have to keep at least two PCs, one for testing Fedora,
and another one for having fun? Most bugs I have noticed where coming from
using Fedora daily, not from looking into test environments.

I understand, that server people need stuff, but we, the desktop people,
need stuff, too. Let's try to make everyone happy. I know, we
can do it, if we want to.
But yeah, I fear the day, when I will have to put several containers
together to stitch myself a modern solution that any Linux distro provided
20 years ago.

I hope those days won't come.
