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

Clearly you don’t understand any fucking thing about the topic. SUSE, the IT corporation from which openSUSE derives its name, has a similar relationship to that of Redhat and Fedora. They aren’t shooting themselves in the foot, their benefactor wants them to rebrand so that openSUSE isn’t branded the same as the IT product that SUSE sells.

The problem is that's the way its been for a long time. Changing the brand now destroys the brand recognition and will harm only them.

You make it sound like they have a choice in the matter. They don’t.

Thank God you're here! How come they didn't think about this before? You're a genius!
