Considering the recent news/proposal from SUSE about OpenSUSE rebranding - what do you think would be some fitting names for the distro/community?
OpenReptileOverlord
OROL
It’s trendy to rebrand things with an X.
Let’s call it X.
OpenX?
plz no
OpenSesame
Or just Sesame.
OpenS-USE (Abbreviation from Open Source - Use)
Any name that does not contain an animal.
All Linux names are no longer valid as they’re all GNU/Linux or GNU+Linux if you’re into that.
Android, Alpine and Chimera aren’t.
Alpine uses GCC at least.
You rn:
The smile quickly drops from the man’s face. His body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth and drops to the floor with a sickly thud. As he writhes around he screams “[ALPINE] WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT’S STILL GNU!” Coolly, I reply “If windows was compiled With gcc, would that make it GNU?” I interrupt his response with “-and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. Even you were correct, you wont be for long.”
I appreciate the attempt at comedy. But I have no problem with Alpine (other than the snail oldmalloc performance). I even contributed a port fix or two.
The more interesting part that should have been read from my comment was that Chimera DOES NOT use GCC. Not to mention that it ships non-GNU coreutils that are usable by desktop users. While Alpine has it’s GNU coreutils package overriding busybox because that’s what most users would want. So that’s another GNU component any non-meme non-turbo-minimalist desktop user would be using on Alpine.
They don’t have GNU but they’re still verboten:
- Android - a fake H. sapiens animal
- Chimera - made from stitching together parts of multiple animals.
It may or may not call you onii-chan in the process. - Alpine - reference to the alps, grazing pastures around the mountain peaks in a region of Europe. For grazing animals. (I’m grasping at straws with this one, I know.)
Maybe MelanoOS (named after melanophore cells that allow chameleons to change color)
Sussy
With a new package manager named vent
If there’s a package conflict that requires the user’s choice, it shall be called an emergency meeting
AmogOS
already exists, amazingly
openDSUS4
The proposed “GeekOS” is a horrid name but Geeko Linux could work. But would be confusing with the existing GeckoLinux
Also maybe mixuppable with Guix https://guix.gnu.org/ (which I’ve heard is pronounced “Geeks”)
Chama Linux is the obvious answer
Chameleons are masters of camouflage, Camo Linux?
They hiss when they’re pissed. Hiss Linux? SSSSSlinux? What about Prehensiletongix?
OpenSauce
- ChameLinux
- ChameleOS
- OpenCamo
- OpenChamo
Or, taking SUSE -> Soße -> sauce
- SauceOS
- OpenSauce
- SaucyOS
You will find that opensauce is already in use albeit not for an os
OpenZusee
openZeus lol
I think they should allow themselves to give a whole new name, as if you were starting your own distro. How would you like to name it? Go for it.
Chamel Linux, because of the chameleon.
Then since Tumbleweed is a rolling release, that would make it Patchy Chamel
