I never felt that the naming issue was all that important, but I was obviously wrong, judging by how many people felt. I tell people to call it just plain Linux and nothing more.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Linux is its own worst enemy: it's splintered, it has different distributions, it's too complex to run for most people.
All the best people in life seem to like LINUX.
The thing with Linux is that the developers themselves are actually customers too: that has always been an important part of Linux.
Linux has definitely made a lot of sense even in a purely materialistic sense.
Linux people do what they do because they hate Microsoft.
A lot of that momentum comes from the fact that Linux is free.
We all love Linux, but it's also a fact that some people might not be able to migrate.
I think Linux is a great thing, because Linux is an alternative to Windows, and because, of all the operating systems that are at all relevant today, Unix is the best of a bad lot.
Before the commercial ventures, Linux tended to be rather hard to set up, because most of the developers were motivated mainly by their own interests.
Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches.
