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.

Name it UnownOS. The other variants like MicroOS and Leap all have logos that look like Unowns.

I’m sure Nintendo wouldn’t mind. Their lawyers are known to be pretty chill…

If the just called it other.

It would gain a huge boost in desktop usage figures.

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

I’ve heard mention of GeekLinux/GeekOS.

Dear Lord I hope they don’t go with that one.

Is openSusie different enough to be considered?

kurcatovium ,

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

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.

MargotRobbie ,

I vote for the new name to be Margot Linux.

Why?

Malfeasant ,

Why not?

LeFantome ,

Makes sense really.

OpenSUSE is not the open version of SUSE ( SUSE Linux Enterprise - SLE ). If you compare to Red Hat, OpenSUSE is Fedora, not CentOS.

I can see how people would get the wrong idea.

It is a bit crappy that they waited so long though. On the desktop, OpenSUSE is quite an established brand.
