Yep, I'd say that's a good summary of my take on it too. Linux (or rather open source) gives you almost unending choice /if/ you are willing to devote the time and energy, or otherwise pay the costs to make everything "Just So" for your own tastes. On the other hand in a distribution like Fedora that aims to have broad appeal and usefulness and has limited resources to throw at things you need to take a more pragmatic line to end up with something on-time and within cost constraints.
