As of now, tags for os-tans and software references are in disarray. Some are in copyright namespace: ubuntu, linux, some are in character namespace: arch linux, debian, and some are regular tags: red hat (linux).
Personally I think that unless there is an established mascot character (with original name, like madobe nanami), these tags should all fall under regular or copyright tags.

They definitely shouldnt be characters. The characters should have a -tan to separate them from instances where the software is used. Not that there is likely to ever be posts with mandriva as anything than a tan, but still.
Software-related tags are a niche reference, rust_(programming_language) for example. If they are to stay, there should be some common sense about handling them and which domain they belong to. Imho linux makes sense to be used with copyright namespace. Other distros should have it as a parent tag and be used as regular tags.
