lacking, splash integration, documentation, when the environment variable WLBR_IS_GIMP is set, in ui visible strings GIMP/gimp is replaced with WLBR/wlbr.

      Perhaps ‘WiLBeR’ would be a compromise?

      Its … basically following what I’m going to call ‘GLaDOS case’ rules.

      ???

      Just sort of seems closer to the kind of silly spellings of robot names in a fair deal of movies and such?

      The Linux community can’t let an opportunity for an acronym to go to waste. Even more so for a backronym.

          That’s for the fork with a UI implemented in Qt.

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.
