Everyone will most likely ask, “Well, since it is a native software, then where does the name Pardus come from? What does Pardus have to do with Turkey?” Let’s answer the questions of our curious readers immediately: The name Pardus comes from Panthera pardus tulliana, which is the scientific classification name of the Anatolian Leopard—a species unique to our lands and culture that lives only in Anatolia. This is what came to the minds of the founders who wanted to reflect the nativeness of the software in a scientific and original way, and they named the operating system Pardus after the Anatolian Leopard.

Who owns Pardus? Pardus is a Linux-based operating system that is a Linux distribution. It operates independently of Windows. One of the main reasons it is Linux-based is that it relies on open-source free software. In this context, because it is both open-source and part of a scientific research and development effort, it can be said that Pardus is a multi-partnered, collaborative initiative. However, of course, there have been some firsts and some unforgettable figures who contributed to its establishment and release.

Who founded Pardus? To explain it this way: Pardus was established by TUBİTAK in 2003. Although it was established in 2003, it could not be released immediately. Pardus, which began its planning stage in 2003, reached the stage where it could meet the public in 2005, and its first version was released on December 25, 2005, before entering 2006.
