Is there any story or reason behind the name? Or is it just simply a random choice of word? Does it mean anything outside being a hat haha.
edit: i feel stupid for asking now, should have guessed it had to do with Redhat…

Didn’t know the backstory, thanks for sharing!
I’m relieved to hear he didn’t walk around in a red fedora.
M’computer
But he was wearing just a red hat…
sudo put some pants on
Red hat’s logo is a red fedora. It’s not that deep.
Red Hat was the corporate distro, Fedora is the casual version of it
*testing :)

“Fedora - a man’s hat, like a trilby but with a wider brim” (source) and Fedora is developed by the Red Hat organization
Ma lady…
I can’t deny that the name’s connotation in internet culture is what turned me away from Fedora for many, many years. It is an unfortunate coincidence.
I believe the meme to postdate the name of the distro.
M’kernel is euphoric.
And I don’t look even slightest like Humphrey Bogart no matter what kind of fedora I’d wear.
Haha same here…

The RedHat installer used to have conflicting versions of the origin of the name RedHat.
Haha that’s awesome
Ora is short for OpeRAting System. People often referred to it as “feature complete”, thus “fed”. It’s a Fedora.
And here I thought it was federated. An easy mistake to make I suppose…
