I don't think so. Most Linux users talk about and understand what Free Software is and means.
Maybe they do (although I doubt it), most of them don't share the vision. Most use it because "it works" and "is gratis", not because it is "free software".

I see that they usually strongly prefer gratis proprietary software with sources to gratis proprietary software without sources.
