Description Ben Cotton 2021-03-29 22:25:15 UTC
This is a tracking bug for Change: "Fedora Linux" in /etc/os-release
For more details, see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Fedora_Linux_in_os-release

"Fedora" is the name of our project. Our general-purpose Linux distribution is "Fedora Linux". Let's refer to it that way in the OS itself.

Comment 2 Ben Cotton 2021-08-10 12:33:03 UTC
Today is the "Code complete (testable)" deadline in the Fedora Linux 35 release schedule:
https://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-35/f-35-key-tasks.html

If this Change is complete enough to be tested, please indicate this by setting this bug to the MODIFIED status. (If it is 100% complete, you can set it to ON_QA).

If you wish to defer this Change to Fedora Linux 36, please needinfo bcotton.

This has been in effect since fedora-release-35-0.9 (released April 30th).

Comment 4 Artem S. Tashkinov 2021-09-02 11:25:39 UTC
I'm curious what if Fedora suddenly adopts GNU/HURD, FreeBSD or any other open source kernel, e.g. even Google's Zircon.

Will "Linux" in its name still be appropriate?

That is incredibly unlikely, but if it should happen in the future this change can be re-evaluated.

F35 was released today. Closing the trackers.
