Well, have you considered that maybe the situation you are describing is 
not that common for most home users? I'm not saying it is or it isn't... 
but I'm not the one wondering whether fedora is aimed at home users 
based on what could possibly be a special cases.

Should I complaing that Fedora is not friendly to gamers because I need 
to be aware of performance and security issues in order to run a "insert 
your favorite game here" dedicated server?
