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.

Or a pair of great tits
They locked that page for editing. Probably a good call.
Great tits can be found from Europe to Asia

Giddy Geoduck
...because it looks like a penis.
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.
I just wanted to distro name to be 'Bastard' :P
deb http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bastard mainNumbers instead of names mostly, for all kinds.of software. I get confused with names🥲
Meckernder Mettigel
I had to google Mettigel. Am still confused.
😏🦔
they picked quokka already and honestly that's all you need.
I like pudus tho.
Dinosaurs would be fun, and would accurately portray canonical
Hungry Human
I'm a huge fan
It would be an appropriate animal to use for a future Ubuntu release.
Rabbits!!!
And the LTS after that : Wabbits
Bugs, specifically beatles
Apple's lawsuit with Apple Corps/The Beatles was lengthy.
Do you think Canonical have the cash and energy to fight that battle?
Interesting read. It seems like Aple Corps sued anyone with Apple as their name.
But it would be a far stretch: Linux Ubuntu 26.04 Dung Beetle
.108? Wtf
108 is a good number
Stupendous Sunfish
Ooooh! I like it!
Bober (Edit - I just realised Bionic Beaver already exists)
Containerized Cat for the Docker version?
Dock Dog would work too.
Quokka
pengolin?
I think they did that one already.
Time for round two! Wouldn't want to run out of animals, after all.
sigh it was 12, that was actually the first version I used too - should’ve known lol
Pigeon and specifically an Indian green pigeon
Tardigrade. Also Macaw if it hasn't been used yet.
Tenacious Tardigrade could work. Maybe.
Bülbül
