From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

TIL SUSE exists and wouldn't have found out if not for OpenSUSE and this news. It's kinda weird to open their website and see this:
SUSE is such a stupid name. Like, it is stupid to say in German.
Just rename it SUSGeckoOS
If GeckOS isn't already taken, it could be kinda cool.
Yeah it is
As opposed to G.E.C.K. OS.
Why Geck ?
A gecko is a lizard, so it's in keeping with SUSE's chameleon theme. Maybe a little too similar for corporate.
I think Komodo Linux, or KomodOS are good options too, but I can't recall if they were already used for a distro.
Komodo (last update 2006)
I don't know what's stupid to say about Gesellschaft für Software und Systementwicklung mit beschränkter Haftung
They are the second largest "Linux company" by revenue after Red Hat iirc
