[Ambassadors] Swag ideas for the general events

[Alexandre Moine]

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!

Alexandre, Fedora user
