Linux isn't a US-specific OS, though.
Obviously the history of slavery isn't exactly a happy topic regardless of nationality, but it may not necessarily have the racial tinge to it in other cultures.
- goto11 6y agoSlave/master are English words though, so what matters is their meaning and connotations in the English language.
- TulliusCicero 6y ago...okay? The US doesn't own the English language, either. And the word "slave" in English refers to slavery throughout history and in various cultures, anyway, including slavery that still exists today, "wage slavery", etc.
