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

All Linux names are no longer valid as they’re all GNU/Linux or GNU+Linux if you’re into that.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.

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.)

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.”
