Hi Felipe,On Thu, Oct 12 2023, Luis Felipe wrote:people call both products by the same name (Guix)I totally agree with you. The confusion is unfortunate. I would call the package manager "Guix," which does the greatest justice to history [1] and pick a new name for the operating system. While the -ix and -ux endings have long traditions in the operating system space, the Guix name is already trademarked by someone else for that kind of software. [2]
Hmm, I've heard about this trademark issue before... I'm not sure, but I think the subject was planned/proposed for discussion during the ten years of GNU Guix event, but I haven't seen any information about it.
I intentionally omitted any suggestion of name changing in this proposal to lower the chance of resistance :) But maybe this is a good time to consider if renaming the operating system is the thing to do.Hoping for a change as you are, I tried to purchase stampede.org from the original inventor of Stampede Linux [3] a year or so ago in order to offer it to the project, but that went nowhere from either side. Meanwhile, I have some other names I would be happy to purchase and donate to the project, but I cannot disclose them to the public before doing so. The impetus for change is low. Please don't give up!
