You want this change to do that, it will fail to do that.
You aren't going to change not just the 15+ year habits of how people
refer to Fedora, but the even longer habits of how people call Linux
distributions.
Regardless of what their official titles are the public all refer to
them by their simple names - Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, Suse, Red Hat,
Centos, etc.
In addition, "Fedora Linux" is no better than "Fedora" at
distinguishing it
from CoreOS, which is also "Linux" (actually, a GNU/Linux distribution like
Fedora), or EPEL, which sits on top of Red Hat Enterprise *Linux*. Adding
"Linux" to the name of the main product does nothing to differentiate it
from the other products.
