Honestly, I think this kinds works. Like Lignux neatly integrates GNU without awkwardly expanding it and could be pronounced the same way already is (unless you want to be a psychopath and go around saying ‘Lig-Nucks’).

But you do pronounce the g in gnu, so NOT saying it as lig-nucks would still be dropping the gnu. Plus it sounds like “lick nuts” and that makes me giggle.

I am so happy that is the case because that’s always my immediate solution as well.

Can’t wait for a distro that uses only rust in the user space and calls itself rust/linux

I think you all missed it, somebody solved the naming issue a few days ago in another Linux community

I have no idea what the guy is talking about.

I just thought it was relevant as they put forward a rant about solving “the GNU Linux naming problem” that is one of the more confusing and strange things I have read.
