Is there any story or reason behind the name? Or is it just simply a random choice of word? Does it mean anything outside being a hat haha.
edit: i feel stupid for asking now, should have guessed it had to do with Redhat…
Red hat’s logo is a red fedora. It’s not that deep.

Didn’t know the backstory, thanks for sharing!
I’m relieved to hear he didn’t walk around in a red fedora.
But he was wearing just a red hat…

Red Hat was the corporate distro, Fedora is the casual version of it
*testing :)
The RedHat installer used to have conflicting versions of the origin of the name RedHat.
Haha that’s awesome

“Fedora - a man’s hat, like a trilby but with a wider brim” (source) and Fedora is developed by the Red Hat organization

And here I thought it was federated. An easy mistake to make I suppose…
Ma lady…
I can’t deny that the name’s connotation in internet culture is what turned me away from Fedora for many, many years. It is an unfortunate coincidence.
M’kernel is euphoric.
And I don’t look even slightest like Humphrey Bogart no matter what kind of fedora I’d wear.
I believe the meme to postdate the name of the distro.
Haha same here…
