Yes, that's a lovely sentiment. At the time I purchased my laptop
neither nvidia, ati or intel support was great in Linux. And intel
(while a little better) wasn't an option to drive a 1920x1200 display
(and as far as I can see still isn't). So I had little choice.
That said I don't blame fedora about this, but I do find it annoying.
Sadly, we don't live in a ideal world.
