I think most Americans think of that as well. It’s even the first several Google search results for “ss”. Bad name choice.

Though we (Americans) didn’t get the fun “tulip” bit.

There’s so many poor names in FOSS but people refuse to change them out of attachment for history. One other example comes to mind: Gimp.

Basically, devs are terrible at naming things.

Funny, in the US I just saw a car that was an “SS” model and I thought “Huh, apparently SS doesn’t immediately scream Nazis to Americans” (SS => Super Sport apparently, to Chevrolet)

Yeah, the nazi secret police is still the first thing that comes to mind when most Americans hear/see “SS” without context.

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.
  • No misinformation
  • No NSFW content
  • No hate speech, bigotry, etc
