    There one glaring issue. Most people don’t really even know what an operating system is and some of the people I talk to think Linux is a manufacture.

    I literally bring up Linux to my friend when they are having trouble getting windows to work and they say I think I have a linux. They mean it’s a Lenovo but they seem pretty confused about the idea of installing a different OS on their machine. This isn’t just older people but 20 something year olds (about my age).

    It’s funny to me but I try to be patient and help them with their problems anyway.

        I can’t blame them. There’s a lot out there that I still remain ignorant of. I’m sure we’re all a bit ill informed here and there.

      Is it just me or has using a brand name as a regular noun become really common? For example, Android-based devices are just referred to as “an Android”.
