The Forbidden Linux Naming Truth

Dad dropped an uncomfortable truth bomb about Linux naming conventions that nobody asked for.

Now they're having an existential crisis about open-source nomenclature. The reply captures it perfectly: factually accurate, socially inadvisable. Some observations are better left in the group chat with other grizzled sysadmins, not shared with your pre-teen at the dinner table. But hey, at least the kid learned early that Linux culture is... unique. Fun fact: GIMP's mascot is Wilber, a coyote-dog thing with a paintbrush. Even the mascot knows what's up.
