Considering the recent news/proposal from SUSE about OpenSUSE rebranding - what do you think would be some fitting names for the distro/community?
[Sorry for the double reply]
Here’s a silly idea: what about ZagrOS? “Zagros” is the name of the mountain range where the ancient city of Susa used to be. It’s like the city was too small for the project, so they took over the whole mountain range, so they went from [open]SUSE to ZagrOS.

If you shorten OpenSUSE to OS, then add OS to the end (shorthand for operating system), you get OSOS.
Job done.
OpenSUSE Open Source Operating System.
OSOSOSbut then alphabetize it for readability
OOOSSS
@superkret@feddit.org @spujb@lemmy.cafe The beauty of these options is that pronunciations will continue to differ the way folks pronounce OpenSUSE differently.
Is OSOS pronounced as oh-sos or os-os?
Is OSOSOS pronounced as os-os-os or as oh-sos–sos or as oh-so–sos?
Is OOOSSS pronounced as ooze or as oo-ss or as o-se?
(OS)²
Will cause confusion with people who remember os/2
Means “bears” in spanish
bearOS
Would OSOS be a recursive name like AROS (Amiga Research Operating System, changed to AROS Research Operating System)?
IDC what it is but they can pry that chameleon from my cold dead hands
GeckoOS
or my personal favourite, OpenSUS

I started trying to read through the thread, but there’s clearly a lot of context that I don’t have. Is anyone able to give a brief summary that would explain what this is all about?
After years of support and collaboration, SUSE asked OpenSUSE to drop “SUSE” - their [SUSE] branding - from their [OpneSUSE] name.
What was the reason they don’t want to be associated anymore? Did Open SUSE do something to tarnish their reputation?
I haven’t seen information on that. Only speculations in comments here on Lemmy. I didn’t and don’t follow SUSE or this news closely though.
A commenter mentioned how SUSE has core business in hosting and business environment, while OpenSUSE userbase is more desktop and [non-paying?] end-user.
There wasn’t (to me anyway) strong arguments for why they do. Maybe they just want to get rid of the investment, and don’t see enough gain in the good publicity and it as an entry point to them anymore.

anything with an obvious pronunciation

But its a chameleon.

The suggestions I liked here were ChameleOS, ZagrOS, and Opus
