I like GNUix very much. In light of the above it's even more attractive. It doesn't downgrade any other distro, yet with a very clever letter play brings to mind GNU as well as Guix. It's short, has a nice sound, utilizes the historical -ix ending, it seems to me to be esthetically pleasing. Doesn't depend on system/distribution... puzzling for a newbie. Finally, has "mascot" potential - we could develop a mascot, who would be called "GNUix", I guess a Gnu of some sort and then incorporate him into the logo of the distribution. I think this would be a very good name. -- 白い熊@相撲道
