But for Joe End User, it still breaks baby. They do an FC-3 install without issue, but they ain&#8217;t getting by with Ubuntu (X is missing, grub partitioning is wonky, etc&#8230;). And I ask myself, how, oh how, did they break it? And why is <tt>python-dev<\/tt> not installed by default?<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"mailto:?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Fedora%27s%20most%20productive%20week%20%28and%20its%20only%20mid-week%29&body=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bytebot.net%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2004%2F12%2F15%2Ffedoras-most-productive-week-and-its-only-mid-week&share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email a link to a friend\" data-email-share-error-title=\"Do you have email set up?\" data-email-share-error-text=\"If you&#039;re having problems sharing via email, you might not have email set up for your browser.
