It seems like every PC I've used for media mastering is a little odd. ---I know that powerusers have milion an one way to bake a cake... but what message do you send to new users?

I don't think this message is being sent. The Fedora online help clearly explains how to write using the default gnome tools.
One of the most common complaints about Linux is there are too many ways to do things.
The Fedora KDE live-cd has k3b on it. It's kind of nice to have the option to try either desktop then decide to install your favorite on the hard drive.
k3b works great on all mine systems (3 laptops and 1 deskop with every hardware and linux distro mix you can think off).
I'm not a power user, I had to google to see all the various problems people were having with reading and writing on various hardware and software platforms to learn how to deal with them.
My experience differs from yours. Last year about 1/8 writers I tested had issues requiring firmware or software updates before they would reliably burn using...anything.
