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

If you shorten OpenSUSE to OS, then add OS to the end (shorthand for operating system), you get OSOS.

Job done.

@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?

Would OSOS be a recursive name like AROS (Amiga Research Operating System, changed to AROS Research Operating System)?
