Revision as of 18:14, 3 December 2014
The following are names suggested for the distribution of GNU that uses GNU Guix as a package mananger and GNU DmD as an init-system, amongst other GNU maintained/developed technologies. RMS has expressed concern about calling such a system "The GNU Operating System" and too possibly just "GNU Distro", really endorsing any distribution of GNU, over any other 3rd-party attempt to create and maintain a variant thereof. These are possible solutions, to this naming scheme.
Listed, in aproximate order from when they were mentioned:
- Jinn - "Jinn is not Nix(OS)"
- Guixotic - Combines Guix with the word exotic.
- Germ or Gemmate - A a collection of packages.
- Gig - "Guix is Guix."
- GNU Jitsu - A play on Ju Jitsu. "Jū" can be translated to mean "gentle, soft, supple, flexible, pliable, or yielding." & "Jitsu" can be translated to mean "art" or "technique".
- GNU Wave - A play on new wave, which is a paradigm shift in pop/rock music that occured up until the 70s to mid 80s, which was the timespan that was the lead up, to the start of the GNU Project.
- GuixOS - Takes NixOS's naming scheme.
- GNU DAWN - "Distro AWaitng A Name."
- GNUDist - A play on nudist, but too makes a nod/reference to GNU Distro in it's name. Sample logo even included!
