    Give them fun names but please STOP using them as official repo/distribution names.

    Life would be so much easier if the repository was debian15. Same problem when looking up Docker images.

    Then you won’t have to double check everytime if you are talking about a newer/older version, etc.

      Thank you. I’m working on transitioning from Mint to Fedora, and I’m happy to get away from decoding 3 layers of “cutesy” codenames to figure out what platform I’m on - “Victoria” / “Jammy” / “Buster” or whatever.

      Coming from Windows 7, that was one of the things that instantly made me want to switch back.

      I have not once ever seen anyone shorten the name of a Debian release like that and I’ve been following/using Debian things for two decades.

      Squeeze, Wheezy, Jessie, Stretch, Buster, Bullseye, Bookworm, and Trixie aren’t “ds”, “dw”, “dj”, “ds” again, “db”, “db” again, “db” for a third time in a row, or “dt”. Both stable and sid are “s” too.
