Find a proper name for KFS OS and Kernel #197

KFS is pretty uninspired. We need something better.

Atmosphere-NX has some really cool names with nice metaphores. The different parts of the OS are named after atmosphere layers (exosphere, thermosphere, stratosphere, troposphere, mesosphere), and the bootloader is a rocket (fusee).

Another example is Fuchsia, which uses precious metals for its component names (zircon, topaz, peridot, garnet).

@Orycterope had the idea to call the OS "Sunrise", after the SynthWave sunrise imagery. Sun Rise Synthwave

Is there more common symbols in the Synthwave culture we could use to name the various components? Any other cool ideas?

SunriseOS it is. Now we just need to rename all the old KFS stuff.
