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.

"Nani" is Japanese (in Romanji form) for "what", and in internet culture has become a common phrase of exclamation when someone is confused. It comes from the popularization of anime in American culture, but also in internet culture as a whole. In this context, it is equivalent to asking "What?" or "Huh?". The user you replied to likely does not know what Nala is and was expressing their confusion in their comment. It's doubtful they were replying to your comment about an apt frontend with a Python array library that hasn't been updated in 7 years.
