    I am the wife.

    Unrelated, why aren’t there more women in Linux spaces? We’ll never get to the bottom of it I fear. I haven’t read the comments in this thread yet, I’m sure they’re all completely uncontroversial.

      because linux users are tech oriented, the market is barely touched by linux, and tech oriented people are disproportunately male.

      heteronormative assumptions

      You could still have a wife yourself, with whichever licensing agreement the two of you negotiate.

      We need more information to reach people. So far I’ve only seen people be into Linux when they have less social life growing up so they spend time online (not in tiktoks or such like now).

      Since most people hearing about Linux from class or other people only hear about the bad aspects or how hard it is if they even hear about it. When I came to US university, I was so surprised noone knew about linux or cared enough except handful of people. And most people did it for work (super computer people, grad students) that didn’t like it and express their opinions openly.
