Why

Why couldn't they just give it a normal name?
Why Fedora?

Yeah but gentoo's a meme, debian's for server and ooboongo's for babby, so who cares about those.

To make insecure Jow Forums posters worry about being associated with a hipster fedora cuck meme :)

because the alternatives are unbearable
Stetson (load of cowboys)
Sombrero (bunch of sleepy mexicans)
Top Hat (sounds like a load of jews)
Bonnet (women)
Balaclava (rapists)
Bowler (sounds homo)
peak cap (niggers)
The only thing better than fedora that they could have called it is "mankini"

Mankini linux would have been great

Install MakuluLinux

How about Blue Hat?

>The only thing better than fedora that they could have called it is "mankini"
But wouldn't that be better suited for something Madrake/Mandriva based, instead of Red Hat?

Would actually be kewl, but Red Hat has a specific meaning and blue would not really make sense
Did You Know? After maintaining a vow of silence for almost 7 years, Red Hat Linux founder Marc Ewing now freely admits that he named Red Hat Linux after Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst's trademark red New York Yankees baseball cap.
Durst and Ewing met in Ewing's hometown of Raleigh, North Carolina (Durst was raised in Gastonia, NC), where they became fast friends, sharing the same passion for low-level system programming.
Durst collaborated with Ewing on the first preview beta of Red Hat Linux before the demands of his rocketing stardom forced him to abandon his hobby and tour with his band.
Durst's position on the development team was filled by Damien Neil, and not many know of his contribution to the popular Linux distribution; however, a google search through the source code on Redhat.com (google.com/search?q=wfd site:redhat.com) reveals many snippets of code authored by 'wfd', Durst's initials (William Frederick Durst).
Durst asked Ewing to keep his 'geeky' roots a secret as it would not lend itself to Durst's bad boy image, but as Ewing points out, it was "only a matter of time" before the origins of his NASDAQ-100 company's name were uncovered.

Who cares, fedora sucks. Use antergos

this

Not many knows that Eminem dissed limp bizkit only because of his stands on free software. Eminem believes that all software should be free and red hat linux shouldn't be an exception.

amazing.
The more you know!

Many (mainstream) Linux distros got shitty names
> e.g.
> Ubuntu
> Debian

Fedoras wasn't a meme when they made that name.

The name existed before it became a neckbeard maymay

It fits with their *hat aesthetics.

>Balaclava (rapists)

Wait, you don't wear a Balaclava when on your PC?
