What are some good name suggestions for the rebranding of OpenSuse? (lists.opensuse.org)

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

If you shorten OpenSUSE to OS, then add OS to the end (shorthand for operating system), you get OSOS.

Job done.

OpenSUSE Open Source Operating System.
OSOSOS

but then alphabetize it for readability

OOOSSS

@superkret@feddit.org @spujb@lemmy.cafe The beauty of these options is that pronunciations will continue to differ the way folks pronounce OpenSUSE differently.

Is OSOS pronounced as oh-sos or os-os?

Is OSOSOS pronounced as os-os-os or as oh-sos--sos or as oh-so--sos?

Is OOOSSS pronounced as ooze or as oo-ss or as o-se?
