Why 25.1 is named Anh-Linh?

Hi all,

I was not able to find any information about Anh-Linh assigned as code name for 25.1 release.

Please point me to the docs or release notes.

I’m just curious, sorry

The first mention of “Anh-Linh” (that I recall seeing) was here:

Traditionally, Manjaro code-names have been obscure references to… something… :man_shrugging: – for a long while they were Star Trek references (I personally miss those).

There was an unofficial “guess the code-name reference” at one time. Sometimes someone guessed it, other times not.

Regards. :vulcan_salute:

I am guessing it is Vietnamese name :slight_smile: possibly a surname.

So I asked the AI

What references in Fiction or specifically Science Fiction Movies or TV series, can you find to Anh Linh

Claude Haiku response.

Search

Based on the search results, I found a specific reference to Anh Linh in the context of the Watchmen TV series. Anh Linh High School is mentioned as the school Angela Abar (the protagonist) graduated from in 1994 in Saigon, Vietnam.

This reference appears in the fictional alternate history of the Watchmen universe, where Vietnam is a U.S. state. The school is part of Angela Abar’s backstory, showing her upbringing in Vietnam before becoming a police officer and later the masked vigilante “Sister Night” in Tulsa.

Beyond this specific fictional reference, I didn’t find other notable mentions of Anh Linh in science fiction movies or TV series from the search results.

from DuckDuckGo Search “Anh Linh Watchmen TV series”

I really have to watch that series again.

I missed too many episodes to ever really catch up.

I have the entire Mini Series. And I’ve just realised I’ve never watched the entire Series.

Ah, I mistakenly presumed you were being facetious, and reacted accordingly. I don’t have the series at all (thus too many to catch up on). :grin:
