Article title & h1: Ab Origine - Latin, "From the beginning"


Though it makes sense, quite a jarring use of the word to Antipodeans, who mostly would say it relates to the native people of Australia.


"Antipodeans" is more jarring to me what a weird way to describe people. Seems to be mainly Australia and New Zealand but people in Spain would also be Antipodeans to Aus and NZ.


Going to start calling people in the Northern Hemisphere "podians".


yeah that was my shocked first thought.


AbOrigin would be a better name

Although the self hosting thing doesn’t make it an origin in my book. More of a quine? The first Linux release would be the original. As for aboriginal I don’t think the metaphor even works.


Primal Linux. Primordial Linux. Prehistoric Linux. Neanderthal Linux


Grug Brained Linux.


Abiogenux?
