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.

Finally there's a general name for immutable Fedora. Creating a new name for each desktop variant is terrible because it's bot obvious what desktop it's actually using. Fedora Sway/Budgie Atomic is clear and concise. Sadly we're still stuck with Silverblue and Kinoite (which are good names, just not consistent).
Yes, they're quite established and I believe there're quite a few contributors who do like those names. At the time they were branded Atomic Workstation the user base was quite small, as it was more of an experimental release (compared to systems running atomic flawlessly for years now).
