Anyone else remember Corel Linux?

    Yes, the problem is that the main reason people used Linux was because it was Free Software.

    Well, to be fair that was what the nerds using it at the time wanted. They weren’t Corel’s target consumer though.

      Sure, but I don’t know what their value proposition for their customers was. Except “we want to take a piece of the cake from Microsoft”, which their customers didn’t care about.

      Why would anyone use that instead of Windows?
