Is there any animal you wish Ubuntu used for its naming convention?

If they ever use pudus my life will be complete.

Or a pair of great tits

joyjoy@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 343d

They locked that page for editing. Probably a good call.

Great tits can be found from Europe to Asia

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.

Numbers instead of names mostly, for all kinds.of software. I get confused with names🥲

Harbinger01173430@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 342d

It would be an appropriate animal to use for a future Ubuntu release.

Apple's lawsuit with Apple Corps/The Beatles was lengthy.

Do you think Canonical have the cash and energy to fight that battle?

Zen_Shinobi@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 343d

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

HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 343d

Containerized Cat for the Docker version?

Dock Dog would work too.

Pudutr0n@feddit.cl · 3 pts · 343d (2 replies)

I think they did that one already.

PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 343d

Time for round two! Wouldn't want to run out of animals, after all.

Tardigrade. Also Macaw if it hasn't been used yet.

Pudutr0n@feddit.cl · 2 pts · 343d

Tenacious Tardigrade could work. Maybe.
