hi,
This is a flawed assumption. A few cases to think about:
- Stephen's aforementioned lab situation use case. I'm sitting down to
work in the computer lab. I didn't install the machine, I have no clue
what it's running.
- Developer use case, I have multiple VMs I'm working with; maybe I'm
testing software on different OSes. I'm trying to locate the correct VM.
(This works in the physical case too. I'm a lowly sysadmin who has been
told to go 'reboot the Fedora machine' - which one is it?)
- This is just a modified version of the lab situation case - but when
I'm doing outreach with the Girl Scouts or at local schools, often the
kids go home with a live USB of Inkscape and Gimp and all the software
they learned how to use. We didn't talk about the OS much at all. Maybe
their parents or friends want their own cweet USB key setup too. What
are they using? What do they Google for? How do they figure it out?
So how would
you solve the problems noted in these situations?
The only Fedora-specific thing on the desktop is the wallpaper, and
we
don't put the logo on that (more for legal reasons than anything else -
we openly license the artwork and we can't do that if it contains
trademarks.)
I think we both agree that fedora has/should have more differentiators
than the artwork,
right?
