"It has a cool default theme for Gnome, and there's a colored bash prompt."
The "cool default theme" in Fedora is the default Gnome theme. There isn't a "colored bash prompt." Fedora is a major distribution on par with stuff like Arch and Debian, so news about Fedora is news about linux.
Love Fedora, hate Fedora, I couldn't care less. But at least do a little research.
There are lots of extensions to change Gnome's workflow into basically anything you like. I love it personally, especially on my laptop.
Thanks for answering! I was just curious as to where Linux was falling short.
