Sorry to disappoint here but that was never the case ... creating a fork always has been associated with costs ... time, effort, money (yes you need infrastructure, hardware ...) So this rises by 99$ if you want an out of the box installation experience equal to fedora. By not supporting secure boot (which seems is what you are proposing) you are making it worse for *everyone* how is that "more freedom". Sure it is worse then what we currently have but your proposed way is *worse* then both . Worse out of the box installation experience for the "unskilled user", effectively leaving the x86 market entirely to MS (and other vendors that chose to implement secure boot). -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
