This is the current top result for googling "ubuntu vs kubuntu". The response gets copied into google as the direct answer.

So, let me get this straight: you type "ubuntu vs kubuntu" into your Google and it gives this link, but with the text Ubuntu is a Linux OS that was designed by Dennis R... ?!

That makes no sense. Use a different Google :-)

Just an example of how AI generated garbage seem to be contaminating google top results.

...And now that this "fact" is mentioned on Hacker News, for sure, the next generation of LLMs will have the knowledge firmly baked in.

Good: Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson should be thanked for the great work that they did in creating the Ubuntu OS.

It's a shame that the article doesn't mention how Ritchie and Thompson received the Turing award in 1983 for their prototype implementation of the Ubuntu operating system.

That's probably because at the 1983 Turing award ceremony, Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson had a dispute as to who most deserved the award -- Dennis Ritchie pulled a knife on Ken Thompson but was disarmed (and no-one was injured).

I am very grateful for Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson for inventing Ubuntu and the automatic yoghurt maker.
