Comment on GendBuntu: How France’s Military-Police switched 100,000+ PCs to Linux
cygnus@lemmy.ca 3 days ago“GendBuntu” is an atrocious name, and it doesn’t sound good in French either (perhaps even worse). I don’t know why they insisted on referencing Ubuntu in the name. GendarmOS would have been fine, or GendarmeSE to be more correct.

gendarme from “gens d’armes” to “gens d’ubuntu” (people of ubuntu) which, pronounced quickly would become “gendbuntu” is ok for an os name for gendarmerie

True, but then it should have been GendUbuntu… Although people may think that’s a guy named jean d’Ubuntu.

we’re writing about a society that pronounces “je ne sais pas” as “chais pas”, of course it’s gendbuntu
