Is this an out-of-season April Fools' joke?

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago

No, it is something that has been discussed for quite some time. No one could decide on a good name until now

[-] almost1337@lemm.ee 8 points 2 days ago

One could argue they still haven't

You could argue but you would be wrong. The name gas changed. There is still some work needed to move domains but that's minor.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
