TIL that the creator of Linux, Linus Torvold originally named his OS "Freax"

His OS name was rugpulled by the server manager bc he hated it. Lmao

Made me think of #[0] and #[1]

"Whats up freax....."

lol that's a rugpull I can retroactively get behind

+1

Apparently Linus didn't want to name it after himself bc he thought it was egotistical. Dude was humble and I respek it. It's hilarious how the manager changed it.

🤣 The one time a manager tries to disrespek but gets it right

"Put some respek on your name" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

LOL Even plain ole 'Linus' would be better than Freax or Unix.
