    Idk, I think the new name sounds too corporate, like some shitty startup or wellness brand. PostmarketOS was a bit of a mouthful but it gave you some idea of what the project was. Well, if they think it's a way to reach more people, then more power to them.

        The jokes almost write themselves about the knock-on effects of dedicating significant time to debugging your phone running this OS, with the new name.

      I think they want to be a mobile OS, plain and simple. But the new name... Not good.

      That’s what I like about it. It signals a kind of ambition open source projects usually lack.
