This dude literally made an OS and named it after himself but he added a X.
This is some Elon retardation.
What is it with these tech grifters and the letter X?
lmao

They can't think of names for branding purposes. So it all goes by X to mean unknown name. Lack of creativity, really.

It's rarely used in languages other than English so I guess it's just flex

I bet he did call a rescue diver a paedophile on a public platform either, after his ego was bruised by said diver.

hey that was my AIM handle in 2001
>Linus Torvalds had wanted to call his invention "Freax", a portmanteau of "free", "freak", and "x" (as an allusion to Unix). During the start of his work on the system, some of the project's makefiles included the name "Freax" for about half a year. Torvalds considered the name "Linux" but dismissed it as too egotistical.[75]
>To facilitate development, the files were uploaded to the FTP server of FUNET in September 1991. Ari Lemmke, Torvalds' coworker at the Helsinki University of Technology (HUT) who was one of the volunteer administrators for the FTP server at the time, did not think that "Freax" was a good name, so he named the project "Linux" on the server without consulting Torvalds.[75] Later, however, Torvalds consented to "Linux".

>xXx_Faggot_Pwner98_xXx
That was just to highlight the name or to prevent having to add something like 98 to the name
Also it general went
xXFaggotPwnerXx
or even
oO0FaggotPwner0Oo
Although gotta say with that name. You'd likely just get called faggot all the time, regardless.

Freax makes more sense but sense it's essentially 'le hacker' community. Phreax would have better as a portmanteau and include a reference to all 3 ideologies. The unix as being responsible for x is a lot better than the way it comes off for Musk though.

He didn't. He made a clone of an existing OS' kernel then paired it with a full OS project (also a clone) being worked on by other people

Didn't name it after himself the community did. X is a reference to UNIX. Does the average /g/ user not learn UNIX/Linux history?

little freak should thank his trans friend for naming it after him
I'm assuming ari is trans due to the connection with linux and being a neutral gender name
