I would just like to offer some /criteria/ to consider for choosing a name. 1) Either build on the familiarity of existing names, or make the name completely descriptive, so the name already suggests something about what it is. "Tumbleweed-Stable" is an example of this, as is Slowroll. Whereas something like "Descent" is only meaningful once someone reads about it. 2) Keep to words with positive associations, not negative. "Stable" is a positive and really the actual goal here I think. "Slow" is only a positive from the perspective of "Tumbleweed moves too fast". For a new user "slow" may not sound very positive. (Nor does "sleepy", "stumble", "sloth", etc. This survey has lots of terrible names I wish I could vote /against/.) If not positive, neutral like "roll". 3) Don't create confusion with other distros. For example "Gecko" appears in some of the names in the survey. There is already a GeckoLinux (http://geckolinux.github.io/) which is a distro that is basically an alternate installer and set of customizations of OpenSUSE (both Tumbleweed and Leap). I hope this survey is just a first round to weed down the unweildy list presented there, and there will be a future round or rounds with a smaller list, and ideally, ranked-choice voting.

Hi,
I setup a survey to decide if we want to rename Slowroll and to what https://survey.opensuse.org/index.php?r=survey/index&sid=839619
Something like "openSUSE Tumbleweed-Slowroll edition" is nicely descriptive but a bit unwieldy.
My plan is to keep this open for some weeks - e.g. until 2023-10-08
