Fedora 21 Linux Will Be Nameless
darthcamaro writes "What follows in the footsteps of Heisenbug, Spherical Cow and Beefy Miracle? Apparently the answer is 'null' as is nothing. Fedora Linux 21 could well have no funky new name as its past predecessors have all had, thanks to a recent vote by the Fedora board to move away from the existing naming practices. Fedora 21 itself will not be out in the first half of 2014 either, instead the plan is now for a release sometime around August. A delayed release however doesn't mean something is wrong as Red Hat's community Linux distro aims to re-invent itself."
...but it only works for a spherical cow in a vacuum, uniformly radiating milk in all directions.
Fedora 21 (Black Jack)
I'm calling it that, and I dont care if Fedora leaves it nameless.
Now I don't have to see ASCII garbage in my bootloader because they use Unicode for Schrodinger's umlaut.
They "reinvent" themselves every few years... basically whenever they start attracting too many users.
Is Schroedinger's Umlaut there or not there until you look at /etc/issue?

so i guess we have to call it The Release Formerly Known As Fedora 21.

Ladies and gentlemen... there is actually a human being on this planet who composed this post in his head, typed it on his keyboard, and thought that sharing it with the world was a good idea. Let that rattle around in your heads for a while. I present to you Desperation.
Then 22 should be called A Fistful of Fedoras.
RedHat admits that it cannot come up with dumber names than Canonical.
