Universal Blue Images Naming Feedback

General
1

At multiple occasions, the universal blue images naming were criticized

The critiques were mostly about the image names being confusing

While I personally enjoy the current images names “Bazzite”, “Bluefin”, “Aurora”, “uCore”;
It is understandable that the image naming could be confusing.

The confusion could come from three main ways:

  • Variants
  • Innovation
  • Branding

A good illustration would be Fedora Atomic:

  • Variants
    4 variants as of now:

    • “Silverblue” (GNOME)
    • “Kinoite” (KDE Plasma)
    • “Sway Atomic”
    • “Budgie Atomic”

  • Innovation
    immutability/atomicity are very innovative in the Linux distribution environment.
    To innovate:

    make changes in something established, especially by introducing new methods, ideas, or products.

    Innovation is inherently confusing at start

  • Branding
    While “Fedora” is a popular brand amongst Linux users, the “Atomic” added part is much more unknown

Applied to Universal Blue images:

  • Variants
    4 variants as of now:

    • “Bazzite”
    • “Bluefin”
    • “Aurora”
    • “uCore”

    BUT, there are even other variants, “dx”, “nvidia”, and other I might be not aware of

  • Innovation
    Universal Blue images are another innovation on top of immutability/atomicity:
    mainstreaming “operating system distributed as images”

  • Branding
    “Universal Blue” is a more known that most of the images, appart maybe “Bazzite” in the Linux gaming community
