going out on a limb here, but i _think_ there is already a really popular project named darwin, maybe for, like, SEO or something, a different name?


There's quite a few Darwin projects. Including the MacOS kernel. Yeah, the naming is not amazing.

Only if they all were competing in the same market. Since they aren't, I like to think of it more as them competing for which one becomes the base meme. When people think of "dog" which variant do they imagine? Lab, husky, french bulldog, or something else? Which dog type "won" and created the strongest meme?

They're both software, so it's still confusing for the rest of us. Would you still stick with that reasoning if it was named "Linux" instead?


Yo quero taco bell dog.


Maybe they should switch to "Alfred" or "Wallace". e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Russel_Wallace


Alfred is a quite well-known macOS app (alfredapp.com)


Wallace is already a crypto wallet
