From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Call it gecs os and have 100 gecs do the promotion for it.
Zuse Linux
openZUSE
Name it UnownOS. The other variants like MicroOS and Leap all have logos that look like Unowns.
I'm sure Nintendo wouldn't mind. Their lawyers are known to be pretty chill...
If the just called it other.
It would gain a huge boost in desktop usage figures.
OpenSUE
A Distribution Named SUE
OpenSOOSE
openSUSE is already a brand, now the main thing is not to get lost.
When I hear openSUSE, I think of german engineering and resources from SUSE, with a history of innovating great infrastructure.
With a new name, distanced from the SUSE part, I'll probably feel more like if this is yet another random derivative created by a small group who might soon lose interest.
Makes sense really.
OpenSUSE is not the open version of SUSE ( SUSE Linux Enterprise - SLE ). If you compare to Red Hat, OpenSUSE is Fedora, not CentOS.
I can see how people would get the wrong idea.
It is a bit crappy that they waited so long though. On the desktop, OpenSUSE is quite an established brand.
If GeckOS doesn't work out... SUSEbanthony, LazySUSE, SUSEsarandon, DrSUSE, uSUSEalsuspects, OkcanSUSE (must be sung)... #puns

~~Dont do things that aren't necessary.~~
~~The name is adequate, it performs it's function, its there.~~
~~Feels like consumerism, always "innovating" for the sake if being new and flashy.~~
Oh, wait, SUSE said that? Weird.
I guess if it's a (kind of) must, tho that makes me weary of what's SUSEs plan that they would benefit from this. It can't be just stupid manager stuff, right? :D
That said, I submit open-me-SUSSY for consideration.
I believe most will assume correctly what the general idea for the logo would be, so no need to sketch it.
