From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You may be echo chambering there a bit. Places like this many of us are pretty tech literate at a minimum. Go out on the street and ask random people their opinions. The answer you're most likely to get back is "What?" Most have no knowledge or opinion unless they're an acquaintance with someone who uses it. And even then it's probably misleading or outdated.
Outside groups like us I'd hazard there is little brand let alone brand image issue. Though I'm open to being wrong.
