Hi,
When you say:
For me, the most asked question is "What is Fedora" and when you
explain, the answer/conclusion normally is "Aha, it is a linux"
No, for me, the answer is "What is Linux ?"
I think most people don't know Linux.
Very very little lambda people know it. It's, in my opinion, the
most problem we have. After, as stated Jukka, if they know linux,
they don't know the differencies between the distribution.
I think we should say why Fedora it's different between Windows
(and Apple), and after why Fedora it's different between the other
distribution.
Jukka say a very great idea:
People just do not understand that they are already using linux in some
form every day and many times.
It's really true!

Sebastian's idea sounds good.

There we have a problem!
People do not understand that there are multiple linux-based (desktop)
distributions available. For a "common-normal" people it is just a linux
and because "no-one uses linux, I cannot use it".
People just do not understand that they are already using linux in some
form every day and many times.
->most of the websites, many mobile phones and tablets, most of the
supercomputers, most of the embedded systems and much more run linux in
some form without user have noticed at all.
Therefore should we say to the people what "LINUX" is all about and
promote it bit more than just being "Fedora" and not saying the word
"linux".
I do not mean we should start promoting some other distributions, but to
make clear what linux is _all_about_ and what it is capable of
doing. ...and therefore "why you should not try Fedora on your desktop
because it is so good"...
