From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

ChatGPT is pretty crap branding too, for the record. They just somehow managed to mainstream it. All the LLMs after it try to have cooler names (Bard, Copilot, etc.) but the kludgy first name is still better known.
I personally disagree, Bard feels very uninspired, and copilot i associate too mich with flying, and also sounds more competent than it is.
ChatGPT is probably not the best name, but at least it's unique.
GPT in French is literally pronounced the same as "I farted".
Cat I farted
My life is a little better knowing this fact. 😄
Having a huge backing (i.e. OpenAI) helps..
