Fedora Core A Fedora user takes a brief look at what he considers 13 of the prime features in the upcoming Fedora 10 release on end of November. "Fedora has many a projects finished or in the queue for Fedora 10. It is a mammoth and obviously unimportant to take all of them out here. So I have sorted some to best of your interests. If you are a developer, then don't worry. You have your goodie too."

Why is every complain reagrding anything opensource meant with "don't complain file a bug report!" or "well, fix it or contribute your own code/art/whatever"?

This makes one of two assumptions about the person complaining:

A)That they haven't already gone through with said action


In this case, the OP almost certainly has not gone through said action, or s/he'd have mentioned it.


B) That if they are just someone interested in USING the software and lack time/expertise to make changes/improvements that their opinions is invalid.


There's a huge difference between complaining about a default theme (highly subjective) and complaining about a broken application (objective and reproducible). Let's illustrate:

Scenario A
--------
geek1: "That girl is hideous."
geek2: "You're crazy; she is attractive."

Scenario B
----------
geek1: "foo truncates input at 2400 characters, and here is the proof..."
geek2: "Egads, you're right." (or: "Your proof is bogus.")

Frankly, I thought it was pretty encouraging that OP was referred to an appropriate discussion forum.
