The questo for a (new) name #165

I have never liked the name of the main executable sa2, standing for SDL Apple 2.

Since I am building a snapcraft package, I have decided to rethink it.

My current preference is for

ya2e: Yet Another 2 Emulator

Why y? Because x is already abused to often. Alternatives include Classic, Virtual or modifications of the above like a2xe, but so far my preference is above.

I feel like "yet another" should belong to newer emulators, not a port of a very old one and almost "default" one like AppleWin.

How about something like "AW4L", meaning AppleWin for Linux? Or even "AppleLin"? 😊

Yes, sa2 is a bit of a stretch to associate as an Apple II emulator. ya2e doesn't quite feel right.

How about a2em4lin? aw4lin?
