== Summary ==
"Fedora" is the name of our project. Our general-purpose Linux
distribution is "Fedora Linux". Let's refer to it that way in the OS
itself.
== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:mattdm| Matthew Miller]]
* Email: mattdm At
fedoraproject.org (bugzilla: mattdm AT
redhat.com)
== Detailed Description ==
This change isn't big — it is simply expanding
* <tt>NAME=Fedora</tt> to <tt>NAME="Fedora Linux"</tt>
and
* <tt>PRETTY_NAME="Fedora Linux [##] ([edition or spin])</tt>
in the file <tt>/etc/os-release</tt>.
The short identifier <tt>ID=fedora</tt> will remain the same, so scripted
interactions should be unaffected.
...snip...
== Release Notes ==
Note: Fedora is made of people! When used by itself, the term "Fedora"
refers to the Fedora Project. When referring to our work, please use either
a specific name like <i>Fedora Workstation</i>, <i>Fedora
CoreOS</i>, or
<i>Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop</i>; or use <i>Fedora Linux</i> to
refer to
the OS distribution as a whole.
This doesn't really sound like something that gets included in a software
release notes page. Can we have a technical description in the release
notes as well please? It would be good to explicitly say that the
key changed in the release notes, and the format/structure of the new keys
in the file.
