Same. Short it nice, but it has to be unique and memorable too. Aux is an already existing word.

Things that don't exist yet

  • Lunix - sounds like linux and nix just with i and u swapped

  • Originix - very close to https://orignix.com/ but not the same

  • Nunix - New Nix

  • Froxin - Jumble of fork + nix

  • Apenix - Apex of nix

  • Nirofs - Nix Is a Read Only FileSystem

Suprisingly already exist

  • Nuxor - Lindt Nuxor is a chocolate
  • Aunix - auxiliary nix - https://www.aunixinternational.com/ already exists though
  • XiniX - a mirror of nix (xinix.nl exists though)
  • Lixin - shit this also exists as a brand
  • Fornix - fork + nix - is part of our brain
  • nixzen - spanish company
  • zenix - Zenith of nix - another spanish company?
  • Apaux - Apex of auxiliary nix - surprisingly is a band
  • Araknix - some toy
  • naaix - sounds like nice - is a damn boat company

Probably some LLM could come up with something too given a good prompt.

I vote for nunix, it's the only one I'd remember easily.

Fornix sounds surprisingly sexual.

Agreed, I made a thread for it. You've got some good names!

Thanks for sharing them. Looking at the thread and the author's responses, it doesn't seem like he's open to changing the name. Not sure if that's off to a good start, but we'll see...

AFAIK LUnix exists as the "little Unix" project aiming to run on the Commodore 6502 computers.

There's even a video where someone got it to run on a Famicom.

What about Stevie?
