Twitter post by Daniel Feldman (@d_feldman): Linux is the only major operating system to support diagonal mode (credit [Twitter] @xssfox). Image shows an untrawide monitor rotated about 45 degrees, with a horizontal IDE window taking up a bottom triangle. A web browser and settings menu above it are organized creating a window shape almost like a stepped pyramid.

      Sorry if I mistake your intention. If that’s the case, it’s just me making a wrong guess.

      You’re probably misreading this.

      I authored THE NAME. If you prefer, I’m the name-giver, the author in this sense.

      Linus is the namer and the creator of that kernel.

      As creator he is by right allowed to name his creation whatever he likes. Just like me, as the cat ‘entity creator as a pet’ am allowed to name it whatever I like.

      No outsiders input required. You get now what I mean by author?

      Whatever your reply may be, let me thank you already for engaging. It’s nice to be pressured to explain something in simpler, more accessible terms.
