    Name for Kubuntu 24.10 "Oracular Oriole"

    At the site:

    https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/04/...racular-oriole

    You will find the new name for the next version of ubuntu/kubuntu which is:

    "For Ubuntu 24.10 they’ve settled on “Oracular Oriole”.

    Cute, but what does it mean?
    • Oracular – Adjective relating of/to an oracle 🔮
    • Oriole – A bird 🐦‍⬛

    In contexts I’ve seen it used, oracular acts as an arcane-sounding synonym for words like prophetic, divinatory, sibylline, augural, etc., as well as a way to infer that a statement is intentionally ambiguous or intended to be mysterious, etc.

    As for birds, orioles are known for vivid, colourful plumage that lend a dramatic presence amongst the muted, earthy tones of the trees and bushes they live in. Orioles are also famed for melodious song (and if this were 2020 I’d 100% make a Twitter/tweets joke)."
