I am not a big guru of digital art, but the GIMP is the first place I turn to when I have to edit an image. Also, I thought the Fedora Project was geared toward power users. This is half of the reason that I use Fedora over Ubuntu. If I wanted my hand held, I would use Ubuntu or Windows. Furthermore, I don't think you can really expect a near bleeding edge operating system to cater to the same audience as Ubuntu.
