Also correct.

Exactly. 

At least I would not complain, if things "just worked". Unfortunately
this doesn't apply. With each Fedora release, I experience things which
are advertised as "revolutionary new features/great achievements" to
actually worsen my use-cases. Often this is presumably because these new
developments did not take into account certain setups'/use-cases'
requirements and likely had been designed on single-user-desktops.
