PixelOS
-
Thank you all for your suggestions. We'll choose together a name ... The reasons for which I chose this name are:
- Retro (How Retropie)
- OS (Operating System)
- Games (Games are fundamental)
I tried to combine the name in order to create a triple value.
I could just call it ROS (Retrogames OS).
Another name that I went through your mind is: Pixel OS
I also created a logo ... I'm not good with graphics that would take me more time to devote to it.

@Devil78 PixOS - The Complete Retrogaming OS built on a RetroPie Backbone

What is the worst thing that could happen if you just made a retro pie distribution I've seen third-party people do it without any problems the worst thing is they tell you know and you need to change the name just release it I don't think it's going to be a problem
-
Why not call it RetroPC or RetroX86 following the same schema as RetroPie?
-
@vbs that's what I was saying, if name change is warranted, but the information I've been reading says that you can do it without any problems just call it retro pie x86, or something
-
Re-branding this distribution completely isn't the worst idea in the world. Having RetroPie in the name when there is no Pi doesn't make a whole lot of sense to begin with. Kodi wasn't intrinsically a better name than XBMC, but at least it finally represented the progression from being a media center exclusive to the XBox. Also, the re-branding of RaspBMC to OSMC only made sense when the team's focus shifted to a variety of hardware. Personally, I like the name RetrOS, but my vote probably shouldn't count, as I'm not looking to move away from my Pi setup anytime soon.

@mediamogul yeah I like that name to and are used pies for all my arcades except the one that I want to run killer instinct and Mortal Kombat because they don't run on the pie
-
I vote RetrOS
-
See I am good for coming up with ideas...
:)

Sweet, I can't wait to try it out. I can make a few videos of it running when it's done .

@LinuxArcadeGuy as i stated that earlier i agree with retrOS.
-
RetrOS, Built on RetroPie!
-
Here's a great example of another distribution built on retro pie but calling itself something else
-
@LinuxArcadeGuy I think calling it a distribution is stretching it. Thats me installing Attract Mode on top of RetroPie so people can experiment with a different front end. Its basically vanilla RetroPie with a different FE. Its not supported or maintained, so very much a demonstration rather than something that is suggested a distribution. The only name I have given it is "RetroPie with Attract Mode".
