Fedora has really made great progress. The font situation is improved and used purely as a development/hacker workstation it works great on common hardware. Media playback, battery life remain big issues but I don't expect those to get any better soon. You can always fix the former with Rpmfusion packages and the latter by not using it unplugged :)

Yup. Running FC25 right now on 27" iMac and the visual appearance is noticeably better than older distributions I'm running on other hardware. Edit: FC25

Care to explain what you mean with issues regarding media playback?

  Fedora does not ship with many popular codecs (mp3 decoding is a new thing in F25, decoding h.264 was new in F24). Third party repositories do offer the codecs, but Fedora project itself does not.

    Ah, I see. Unfortunately this is most likely due to software patents. Bummer. Thanks though.
