Except you’re NOT free to choose, every major distro shoves it into your face

And it BEHAVES like cancer, that’s what I meant

Just to name a few reasons.

systemd is cancer.

Makes perfect sense, with him always sweeping the Omnian gardens 😄

the vacuum is named after a monk

Lu Tze?

Fun fact: When AOL was still operating in Germany, internal servers in their network were named after characters / things from Asterix comics, like Asterix, Obelix, Idefix, Miraculix and even Hinkelstein (menhir). When Telecom Italia bought them up they unfortunately got rid of all these and replaced them with standard corpo server names. Source: I worked there.

My devices are all named after things from the Star Wars universe, in particular:

• Stationary computers are named after planets (my “main” PC is Coruscant, the old “main” that was Coruscant before is now Corellia, etc.)
• Laptops are named after mega-stations (DeathStarI, DeathStarII, Starkiller, etc.)
• Tablets and comparable sized devices are named after giant starships like the Super Star Destroyers (Executor, Lusankya, KnightHammer, etc.)
• Mobile phones are named after regular sized starships (like Tydirium, TantiveIV, SlaveI, EbonHawk, etc.)

German here, yes it does and it is. It’s not a high German word, but a dialect one (but it’s present in multiple German dialects, mostly all Franconian ones, as well as Hessian and Swabian). Usually it’s written “Bobbes”, though.
