Right? Bold move, taking that as the npm package name listing.

honestly, i'm surprised it wasn't taken before

I think they should rename tbh. They are not 'linux'

Nor is Karma the universal force of cause and effect commonly called "karma," but somehow we all get by with npm install karma.

tbh, It's far different to...

- use an abstract concept as a metaphor/marketing for your product

than

- use product "L" that has been influencial and important historically, currently and likely well into the future as your Product's dependency.

- Then market your product as product "L" on one of the most important package managers for startups, enterprises, hobbyists.

They have but a single distrobution. They are not "Linux". They just are an example of it

I agree. It will be better as npm install hypercore or something.

The naming annoys me so does the title, it is not a Linux distribution, I stopped reading when i got to the npm part, I assume this is done in JS?

Please be explicit and say that this is NOT a linux distribution, and in all seriousess I don't understand how this can be called linux, can someone explain me?

I fully support this.

it's sort of a thug life moment for javascript.
