Re: Why is Linux the only OS in version identifier list that has a lowercase name?

So I was just testing some code and couldn't figure out why it wasn't
working. My version block looked like this:

version(Linux)
{

Looking at the list(unless I'm missing something) Linux is the only OS
that is lowercase. I'm guessing most people use Posix instead and never
encounter this problem.

As a workaround, you can set version to Linux yourself:

version (linux) {
    version = Linux;
}

void main() {
    version (Linux) {
        import std.stdio;
        writeln("Linux worked!");
    }
}
