yes i did read it. the original name had pretty good recognition among linux nerds already, it’s kinda long but usually shortened as pmOS so i don’t see how problematic that is.
and the new name just seems too generic/unmemorable… imagine you hear “postmarketOS running on Galaxy S10” and you instantly know its some alternate OS ported to that phone unlike “Nura on Galaxy S10”. It doesn’t even have “OS” in the name…

Thanks for the explanation! Makes sense to me - although I do understand their marketing and pronociation concerns.
I’m not sure where I stand myself so your point of view is very appreciated :)
