The worst thing is there that title should be: "Linux Distro Inspired by the iOS" . iPad is a device, not OS.
iPad-flavored iOS is different than iPhone-flavored iOS. Even Apple calls it iPadOS: https://www.apple.com/ipados/ipados-14/ Their title seems accurate.

iPad (device) != iPadOS (OS)
iPad != iPadOS != iOS which was your original modification to the title.
My point is, it’s iPad specific. So iPad/iPadOS is fine here, and not iOS.
This looks like a legal nightmare. I mean there are all kinds of protections of visual thinks like e.g. design patents. I would be highly surprised if this doesn't violate at least one or two apple hold still valid design patents or other protection mechanisms. Because lets be honest design/visual wise it's less iPad/iOs inspired but a bland clone of the iOs design on iPad with some/many minor but in the grater pictu…
I wonder if this is going to be the OS of choice for flea-market iPad counterfeits/knockoffs... the Files screen even says "On my Pad" in the shown screenshot. Everything looks close enough to be able to possibly fool an untrained eye.
Pad is also a star trek throw back, and a word. I don't see why apple should have dominion on that word. Short and succinct.
Very different from iPad.

It's a user interface, therefore it has to be familiar. What if cars all had the steering wheel in a different location?

Apple has a patent on scrollbars . There's no avoiding that legal nightmare.
In a way, the USA brought this upon themselves. Global intellectual property rights are prerequisite for international trade in services. But they also require international concorde on what they are.
America has shot itself in the foot by diverging from international standards of copyright and intellectual property. And it's really myopic: for example, Disney will marginally increase the value of their IP holdings by lobbying for a perpetual license to Mickey Mouse; but it will also preclude Disney from ever trading their IP on equal terms with China.
Is there any easy to setup Linux software for touch-screen keyboard and auto detecting rotations in 2 in 1 laptops?

Obviously "pretty common" is, just like "obscure", completely subjective. I consider it obscure, but all I can say from looking it up is that at least according to Google Ngram, it's about 1/10 as common as "patriotism", which is saying something as that's been a declining word for a century. It's less common than "chauvinism", "sectarianism" and "xenophobia". In fact, tripling the popularity of "jingoism" still woul…
To me the fact that Ngram shows the word “patriotism” on the decline throws doubt on using it for any measure like this. Within the US “patriotism” is used very commonly. It leads me to wonder whether Ngram leans too heavily on scientific or academic literature and not on the words that people actually use in everyday conversation. Does Ngram scan social media, TV or (to a lesser extent) newspapers? If not I’m dubiou…
