Linux

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.

It ships a file called snark.py which is apparently used to name colors. Examples:

(0, 85, 85, 'liquid Nyquil'),

(85, 170, 170, 'smurf blood'),

(255, 170, 170, '"nude" tights that only match Becky's skin'),

iirc sudo has a bunch of quotes to spit out when an incorrect password is typed. Gentoo exposes that feature with the offensive USE flag.

Edit: Looks like Pick is sourcing the weirder names from this site: https://glitch.com/~name-that-color
