https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=phosh

https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=phosh%20linux

they all return expected results.

I know what it is...

Everyone is so obsessed with proving the other wrong on this platform. It's almost as if users derive their identity from their supposed superior intellect. Sounds like what the twitter guy does all the time.


Or, it's as if what you posted didn't really express what you apparently intended to say, and people responded to what you actually said instead of what you meant


My go-to example for a bad name is /e/ :-). Nice project, bad name.
