SUSE Requests openSUSE to Rebrand

cross-posted from: lemm.ee/post/37281970

Believe it or not, an unexpected conflict has arisen in the openSUSE community with its long-time supporter and namesake, the SUSE company.

At the heart of this tension lies a quiet request that has stirred not-so-quiet ripples across the open source landscape: SUSE has formally asked openSUSE to discontinue using its brand name.

Richard Brown, a key figure within the openSUSE project, shared insights into the discussions that have unfolded behind closed doors.

Despite SUSE’s request’s calm and respectful tone, the implications of not meeting it could be far-reaching, threatening the symbiotic relationship that has benefited both entities over the years.

Honestly, for a good distro, the brand is not great. Perhaps this can be viewed good opportunity to go with something more unique!

If they were to rename/rebrand, what would be the new name, do you think?

I’ve heard mention of GeekLinux/GeekOS.

Is openSusie different enough to be considered?

That is terrible idea, it’s even worse than my fun proposal of openSAUCE…

I can imagine that getting confused with Guix (pronounced geeks)

I’d love them to replace SUSE with SUS. Distrowatch click rate +500%

I would that too

call it SUES. SUSE won’t be able to complain since they are so hung up on it being pronounced SU-SAY.

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.

Rename it to openSUS

Since I had to deal with some representatives of SUSE corp, I can say that the whole experience was just plain horrible. Don‘t like that company at all and thus am not surprised that the name change topic is even discussed at all.
