      Dear Retropie Forums,

      I am currently working on a Retropie rework called "Cruise". It is going to be a fully reskinned or themed Retropie installation.
      I am also planning on adding more features to the Build than default.

      I would like to ask if I could call that a Retropie distro or make it an independent project based off of Retropie.
      Thanks in advance.

      Kind regards,

      Tyler

        @SQWK_7500 I have an idea, why don't you accept suggestions from forum members? That way, a unique name may arise, and only for your project, of course, giving due credit to the Retropie project.

        My sugestion is Retroages or Emuages.

          RetroPie is not really a distro, so I wouldn't call it that way. If you're just forking the main project, with the intention of providing a different configuration, then make it an independent project and mention that it's just a RetroPie 'spin'/derivative work.
