Does anyone else think Fedora-linux should rebrand at this point?

>>62178598
It doesn't really bother me to be honest

>>62178598
Yes, but what do YOU think?

>>62178604
Same. It's probably hurting their word of mouth recommendations though.

>>62178611
I think they should call themselves Bowler as in Bowler hat.

No one outside 2 or 3 anons in /g/ care about that meme.

If you dont buy something because of a shitty meme, does your oppinion really matter?

Why? It's fitting since only autistic betafags use loonix

When you're pushing a brand having a good image is pretty important. It doesn't matter if you're selling the most delicious chocolate ever made if you shape it to look like dogshit, noones going to buy it no matter how good you say it is.

CEO fedora begins woman

>>62178675
What did he mean by this

Yes. I cringe everytime I hear the name. I might actually use it, but the name would make me feel too much of a neckbeard.

>Hey Anon what OS is that?
>GNU/Linux Fedora Edition

its in reference to hacker hats like black hat or white hat not atheist meme

Why not be based and embrace it instead?

>>62178874
This.

>>62178819
It's a play on "red hat", which is a reference to communism

>>62178598

Cowboy Hat Linux

>>62178654
Yes but the name of that distro does not bother anyone in real world.

>>62178598
Fedora has had the name over 10 years before the meme even came about. They shouldn't have to rebrand just because they didn't have psychic powers to predict some meme a decade in the future that has nothing to do with the distro.

Are you retarded or do you simply not understand the concept of branding? Fedora has a brand, it wants to market itself as a desktop/server distribution.

>market

I'm not sure if you are just a brainlet or autistic. What kind of market exists for an open source project?

Fedora, like any other linux distro, is NOT made for a greater "market" and has no need to "brand" itself like Windows and Apple does. The goal is to make something good that the developers can share with other people AND use it themselves. If you don't like it then gtfo, you didn't pay anything and if you care for stupid memes then bad luck. No one else who matters does.

don't know why they didn't just call it red hat community edition or something

>>62183607
>linuxfags have given up on "year of the linux desktop"
About time

>>62183607
The server market for a start you absolute retard. They WANT people to use their products, hence they MARKET them with BRANDING like icons, pretty default environments.. Do I really have to explain this to you? Are you a NEET?

>>62183475
Linux is also a brand, retard. Linux Foundation have the rights over it.

>>62183634
LMAO, this picture alone put me off fedora. Can't believe they have this on their main site.

>>62178598
the distro itself is shit, though, so who cares?
Can't understand why people use it. Maybe they are fans of latest and greatest Pottering shovelware? Then, ok. Somebody got to beta test his creations before they can be used in other distros.

It isn't about how aesthetic the programmers are, I'm not asking them to put models on the page instead, just why put pictures of what appear to be downies up?

It's a good to make a potential transition to Linux easier for those who want it. But if you just want to meme about logos then there is no reason for anyone to care about your needs and wants.

>>62183665
You know what a market is, right? The reason 80-90% of all servers run Linux is not because of a fancy logo but because it's superior. No one is fighting to have you run their project on your shitty home server.

>>62183675
My comment was about the need of branding your distro. It's nice to have more people because that often leads to more devs. People who care about the logo will probably never contribute anything to the project.

Holy shit, you are absolutely beyond saving. Marketing literally means appealing to potential buyers OR users, in this case users. They are very obviously trying to appeal to users, like every other distro out there. You seem to have a special case of turbo-autism.

If they were trying to "market" their distro to users it would be the most logical thing to simplify and polish as much as possible. Maybe add standart programs, a big colourful GUI and then you'd had a much bigger "market share".

Luckily, they don't do that. The goal is not the market to potential users but to make a nice distro. It doesn't matter if 100 or 10000 people use it. Why is it so hard to comprehend anything that doesn't fit into the standart commercial sheme?

They are not trying to appeal to users. The appeal is not something that is being actively worked on. The appeal of a good distro is a by product of its quality.

Conclusion: No GNU/Linux distribution should waste any more time than necessary on logos, branding, marketing or appeal.

They do all of this shit, what are you on about? You can find ads for ubuntu/fedora etc on plenty of sites, they probably pay for higher rank on distrowatch too. Have you used one of the popular distros in the last 5 years? Doesn't seem like you have. If they didn't give a shit about marketing all their websites would like stallman.org
