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.

With a username like this, I'd give all my hosts and servers moon names. Like the moons of Jupiter (Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto).
This made me go down a rabbit hole of server names and I now have a super long list of names from mostly Greek mythology that I'm going to use next time I have a chance
I’ve gone for colors for my servers and omelette ingredients for my VMs
Uuuuh, weird, I love it!
The Expanse itches
Most people here suggested meme names, but that's actually a really great idea! And the names are pretty beautiful on top of that. I hope OP chooses this despite it being far from the top comment.
I'll use this in the future! I really like the idea!

I hope all your stuff supports Unicode.
Here I was hoping that if you took the UTF-8 representation in bytes and decoded it as ASCII, you would get something interesting. But no, just Unicode characters. Almost interesting is that none of the bytes are valid ASCII characters (< 128), which you might expect for the first byte of every UTF-8 codepoint due to backwards compatibility for ASCII encoding, but perhaps not for the subsequent bytes that comprise the rest of the grapheme.
I'm finally starting to understand the appeal of numerology.
oh look, another of Elon Musk's weirdly named children
Needs to either visually or phonetically have an x or x like symbol though
This is by far the most evil one, I love it.
