    It is likely a fact that the majority of middle aged computer users have never even heard of Linux, but sure. Because redhat spent a few dollars a year on marketing, that’s definitely an apt comparison. Lmfao, disingenuous is the only word for you.

      Look, you can try to reframe what I’m saying into entirely different arguments in your head as much as you want, but as you kept saying reading the previous posts is easy.

      I’d be curious to see that poll, though. I’m liking my chances with millenials, honestly.

      Just so I’m clear, here, your working hypothesis is that Linux isn’t more popular because people don’t know that it exists? Is that the idea? Like, if you ran ads for it on Youtube or something it’d skyrocket in usage?

          Makes two of us, I suppose. But you lost track a bit, that was a genuine question, the subthread where it’s descended into sheer trolling hostility is the other one. I’m asking this genuinely.

          As in, you seem to be arguing that the limiting factor for Linux is it has not enough promotion or lacks awareness and nothing else, right? Is that the idea?
