lacking, splash integration, documentation, when the environment variable WLBR_IS_GIMP is set, in ui visible strings GIMP/gimp is replaced with WLBR/wlbr.

    Yeah, GNU IMP. Recognisable and easy to understand for those familiar with the old name.

    WLBR just seems like people being clever for clevers sake.

      Because their mascot is already named Wilber and BSD already has an infernal mascot.

        Rename the mascot IMP then.

      Yeah and you’d think GNU would like the recognition too.

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.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
