Considering the recent news/proposal from SUSE about OpenSUSE rebranding - what do you think would be some fitting names for the distro/community?

Agreed. The name is a bit silly, but "Fedora" is silly too, or "OpenSUSE" wtf?

I think "Ubuntu" or "Arch" are names that make sense. Everything with "OS" in the name is kinda amateur-ish.

MacOS and iOS are good examples of amateur marketing

I think Fedora is a great name
