"Actually, Fedora is arguably one of the distributions that makes most technical advantages. E.g., it made SELinux, encrypted disks, and numerous other things usable for the average user."
Tell me you don't actually believe this?!? The "average user" that you speak of doesn't even know what any of these things mean!
The average user would disable SELinux the moment it caused a problem, encrypted disks wouldn't even enter their minds, and there is almost nothing other then the GUI (KDE,GNOME) that is even close to useable by the "average user". How do I know this? My family uses Linux, some of my friends have switched to Linux and they ALL call me from time to time. Hell even I have problems with Linux, and I'm not your "average user". I run 3 HPC labs at a major University. My "average users" in the labs run Linux and most of them wouldn't even use SELinux or encrypted disks on their systems.

Pl;ease define your "average user"
