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.

They locked that page for editing. Probably a good call.

It's probably too soon after 25.10 for another Australian animal, so lets go-

28.04 Bastard Bandicoot.

Really missing an opportunity here with Bash Bandicoot.

Dinosaurs would be fun, and would accurately portray canonical

[–] Zen_Shinobi@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Bugs, specifically beatles

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Apple's lawsuit with Apple Corps/The Beatles was lengthy.

Do you think Canonical have the cash and energy to fight that battle?

I think they did that one already.

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 11 months ago

Time for round two! Wouldn't want to run out of animals, after all.

Tardigrade. Also Macaw if it hasn't been used yet.

[–] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 2 points 11 months ago

Tenacious Tardigrade could work. Maybe.
