Why does Linux suck so much at branding?

Why does Linux suck so much at branding?

cute

What are you talking about?
Linux has the best branding. Fedora sounds pretty cool and the rat is cute.
Linux brands all sound so techie.

There is only one problem with Linux. It is a huge problem and it is understandable that most people can not deal with it. The problem with Linux is that it's way ahead of its time.

>>a fucking rat
it is for retards like you who complain that linux use keyboard and terminal for input instead of gui and a mouse. So they put a mouse right on desktop for you dumb nigger

I don't care if it's a mouse/rat, this is peak usable DE especially on Debian, never had anything breaking issues or anything even close to that in years of usage.
If you're not using a tiling/dynamic WM just pick xfce, it's that good

It doesn't need to sell itself. You use it or you don't. No one is going bankrupt if you don't.
>fedoras are cool
>ever

>Fedora sounds pretty cool

I never picked it because of the name. The memes destroyed it for me.

Imagine being this pathetic
Not using an operating system because of reddit memes

No gt's, it affects perception.

>gt's
gf's

You're welcome to put up the millions of dollars to pay a design firm that will spend a year coming up with a rebrand, then spend even more on an advertising campaign

>But I still don't like it!

Use Windows then, featuring popular and successful brands for people like you such as Candy Crush and Minecraft built right into the OS

Install gentoo

Shit, English is not my native language and never realized Fedora was named after a fedora.
I'm currently using Fedora as my distro. I was thinking of switching to something else because I don't really like gnome but now that I realize RedHat are the original fedora guys I don't think I wanna switch anymore.
It's hilarious lmao.

Red Hat Linux was dropped because they started Enterprise Linux.
But the old Linux turned into Fedora, since Fedora project maintained packages for that distro.
I also think it's pretty cool

>a fucking rat
it makes sense tho

those tits are sexist

Reminder that the actual official logo of Mac OS is a satanic platypus with donald duck's face copypasted on

What is sad because the meme hat is a trilby.

The bsd logo is an imp and MacOS is an BSD

Sir, it is not Kringe, but Kosher.

What's wrong with the penguin?

But I like Linux brandings...

I’m assuming you’re referring to desktops and not mobile. The biggest problem isn’t branding. It’s that Linux isn’t pre-installed on most major manufacturers’ computers. Don’t bring up one DELL model or little known brands like System76.

what is this supposed to be, an xbox?

Hear me out, I know it sounds crazy but wait, don't run.
I think that, maybe, just maybe, I know it sounds farfetched but pretty please bear with me, that the logo stands for M.
What does it all mean? I'm not sure. I know it sounds even crazier but I think it's M for Manjaro. But I'm not sure...

Durrrrr

>switching distro because you don't like the DE
???

I think it’s actually an NI for ...

he's retarded

its a white high-chair with a pen0r in a green room dummies

Because free as in freedom. Open soruce devs aren't held hostage by focus groups to make cute logos and useless features. They can actually work on their software.

Open source is free from marketing garbage.

Unironically good mascot.

It seems also to be free from really good "normalfag desktop usage" software.

>Open source is free from the things that entice people to use it
Sounds about right

How so?

tux is based

The real meme is autists who debate over trillbies vs fedoras. If you're a white man in a 50's gangster movie, a 50+ year old black man, or maybe one of those Asian guys who wears crazy colored clothes, you can pull of a fedora-like hat. Otherwise, don't bother.

What about flat caps?

Very short irish man, very large irish man, or old white man. Possibly old Asian or old black man.

Bwa haha my sides, they split. Never going to be able to look at that again

Yeah but the software kinda sucks most of the time too.
