I'm not sure it is too jarring - if they had called it Aborigine Linux then there might have been a small outcry.

- klyrs 2y agoYes and no. Aboriginal peoples world 'round have been displaced and slaughtered. The name conjures all meanings of the word, as is the nature of words, consequently there is a distinct and predictable reflex to associate this name with atrocity in a general sense. Naming is hard. Offense unintended is often perceived as neglect or callousness. Names can change; history cannot.
