Just sharing this really well produced video on Linux’s public perception (since this channel has suprisingly not a lot of subscribers)

    honestly the biggest problem with the media is. Linux represents the very thing corporate culture in those media empires just can’t fathom. the idea of cooperation for the greater good that Linux represents and not being 100% profit motivated. They just don’t get it and worse they see it as a threat. Microsoft can be a competitor to them but the idea of open source is a competitor to the whole system and that is a far greater threat to the people on top.

        In what way? Why? I’m not saying there aren’t hurdles. Like familiarity to get around. But for 90% of people and if they bought a piece of hardware designed to run Linux. It would fulfill their needs 100% of the time with very little problem.

        Mainly falling apart around things like hardcore gamers. Which again are pretty Niche themselves as most gamers are on Console these days.

            You may be echo chambering there a bit. Places like this many of us are pretty tech literate at a minimum. Go out on the street and ask random people their opinions. The answer you’re most likely to get back is “What?” Most have no knowledge or opinion unless they’re an acquaintance with someone who uses it. And even then it’s probably misleading or outdated.

            Outside groups like us I’d hazard there is little brand let alone brand image issue. Though I’m open to being wrong.
