I had heard the “PostmarketOS” name in the past but it never sparked my interest, the name made me think it was an OS made for some old obscure hardware that I’m likely to not own or that I would not be able to buy anymore. Either that, or a distro meant for old PCs.
I just found out that it comes shipped in PinePhones and that it’s actually a modern OS not necessarily constrained by a specific line of legacy hardware.
I think it’s better a name with no implicit meaning than a name with a misleading meaning. All names are obscure when they just appear, I don’t think “PostmarketOS” was such mainstream name.
