Used to be called "Red Hat" linux back in the late '90s/early '00s and the logo was a red fedora. Then was renamed to "Fedora Core" some years later.
It predates reddit by a decade.
They named it Red Hat, because Marc Ewing was always wearing a red hat around the CMU campus. So it was sort of his nickname. i.e. "the guy in the red hat, fixed my computer."
