I can tell you right now if you want the Linux ecosystem to grow, the average person is probably downloading the installer and installing it because of word of mouth or mentions in YouTube videos, and not writing all of these words I'm not going to read on lemmy.
You've already done a direct disservice to your cause by starting this comment thread in the first place -- trying your best to dissuade one such user because you don't like a word and don't like that a developer doesn't value your opinion of that word.
I have no issue with the word, but with the spiteful mentality of "the more people suggest I change it, the less I want to".
