      I’m not saying it’s still strictly the case, just that the effects of that attitude linger on in the public consciousness (even a decade later).

        What is this “public consciousness” you are talking about? Like, tech writers? And that’s a genuine question…

        Because if I tell my elderly father “hey dad, I’ll install Linux on your machine,” he won’t say “ah, Linux, yes, I’ve been reading for the past 15 years that it’s a difficult operating system, right?” He will say “what the hell is Linux?!”
