It is no secret that we are not happy with the current name (see the Q&A in the initial announcement. However, we have failed to find a good alternative.

There is an interesting Twitter thread containing some suggestions. We would like to track this issue as it is becoming more relevant.

Ideally the logo should be added also to https://github.com/openSUSE/artwork/tree/master/logos

Here are suggestsions from the twitter https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/names Now I leave the decision whether to pick one of the candiates to the YaST team.

Thanks a lot for all the suggestions. Unfortunately, we have not agreed on which should be the right name. By now, we are keeping "D-Installer", but we are open to receiving more proposals. What we did, was define a set of criteria that the new name should meet:

obviously, it should be unique in our scope.
easy to search for.
avoid "competitive" names (like an Anaconda predator and so on).

Suggesting to close the issue, you have all rights to keep the current name. I really hoped for "Current" being the choice :-)

I don't know if you've received this feedback yet, but "agama" means religion in Indonesian and Malay at least. It'd be confusing for speakers of those languages (and potentially triggering).

Example of person making a pun here:

Waah OpenSUSE is making a religion :flushed:
