SUSE is asking openSUSE to stop using the SUSE brand, sparking controversy. The openSUSE Board is considering rebranding the project due to governance issues. There is debate on renaming the various distros, with suggestions like “Geeko Project” and “Tumbleweed Aeon.” Concerns about losing contributors are raised, calling for a more structured onboarding process. The openSUSE Board is divided on the rebranding issue, with some believing it will be damaging. The future of openSUSE, especially under a new name, and its impact on the Linux community remains uncertain.
