Great idea

@Popin

It's not insecure

If anything it's more secure because of the fact that it's a bleeding edge distro.

What exactly is a "bleeding edge" distro?

"The Live CD doesn't work. -_-"

Oh, trust me, it does. If thousands of people, including myself, managed to use it, then it works.

It boots and then shows a gray screen, and then the screen goes black and nothing happens. There are no options for me to do anything.

So it can't be a user error.

Fedora is horrible. The default font is ugly and the user interface is horrifying.
use Ubuntu. It may not be the best OS but it's definitely the best distro.

I'm using Ubuntu.

I was also considering trying out Arch Linux. It looks nice.

What are you on? Fedora, insecure?

Yeah, you just lost all credibility as a linux technician.

@emess
You were never qualified to give an accurate opinion, anywho.

@silvu
Refer to @popin

@fredrick
Sounds like a drivers error.

Never said I was. However I consider myself to have an artistic taste and I'm not going to lie; Fedora's user interface is an eyesore and I am confident that you could agree with me.

I think Fedora's UI is brilliant.

As is Ubuntu's.

If you want to get a quick glance at it, even if you are going to stay with it(a lot do), try fedora + xfce. So pretty...

And is that all I'm insulting it for? No, I struggled when installing Chrome; I tried both with the terminal and the website.

No, that wasn't it. I executed it, nothing popped up. Use the terminal, nothing happens. Hey look, Chrome appears on my applications list. I press it. Nothing happens. I press Firefox. It loads up.

@Ten

Well if you just installed Fedora you need to update Yum and then restart before you can install anything.

I don't know if this is the case with Fedora 17 as the last actual Fedora I used was 16.

I say actual because I used a distro called Fuduntu for quite awhile which is like a lightweight Fedora with gnome 2.x.

You can't really call it a spinoff anymore because they branched off from Fedora after 14, but it's still pretty damn close.

Also you're an idiot if you tried to install Chrome via yum.

It's proprietary so it's not going to be in the default repository of any distro.

I don't think that Chromium is there either, even though it's 100% opensource.

oh jesus WOW I would have guessed- nope. The scripter forum is a huge Linux loving circle jerk and you guys would be willing to kill yourselves to prove it. Break the analogy of smart people being Linux users because that's seriously false.
