Hm, but I'm not sure people would attribute that to the design of the underlying OS itself rather than just the employer. Like do those people with restrictions on Windows blame Microsoft? It'd be the same as someone blaming the Linux maintainers for employer placed restrictions on an OS running Linux. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure someone would still do that, but I'm not convinced that the majority would think that way — I think most people would be able to make the distinction.

Yeah, I could be wrong, maybe the blame will be attributed correctly, maybe not.

At least with Windows, most people know what its normally like at home, but thats less true for Linux.

Yeah, that's a fair point that they wouldn't have a comparison, so they wouldn't know if it's always like that. One could perhaps make an educated guess, depending on circumstance, but, without any first-hand experience or exposure, it would be just that: a guess.
