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.

I hate how natural is called natural cuz there's nothing natural about it, when using a touchpad or mouse you're controlling the viewport, mouse down should move the viewport down
It's all Apple propaganda to make their way more justified to their Apple fanbois.
I think it's because of touchscreens since that behavior on a touchscreen more accurately emulates physically manipulating the items in the screen.
Seems to be a common thing in the UX design world to give your ideas very humanist or comfy sounding names. I get the intention to make change sound less threatening but it gives off very cult-like vibes to me.
But I ain't a designer by any means, I looked into abit of UX design/philosophy and was turned off by all the buzzwords and seeming lack of discussion around what users actually want.
