      You don't have to rename it - but that is your choice if you want to. The only point I made was using the logo as the main site logo - which made it look like it was an official RetroPie site (btw you may not get a reply from the logo rights holder - as he is busy).

      I did some Ubuntu/Xubuntu Linux versions for the O2 Joggler - and did it without making it look like it was an official Xubuntu project - you could do the same - http://jwills.co.uk/projects/joggler-xubuntu/

      @vbs regarding having it all under one roof - That was never mentioned by them initially, and it seems they want their own "project site". Which is fine, but they can provide their own support too :)

      I'm not against the idea providing a bootable usb, but it's more work when a release comes out, and I would want it completely automated in the same way the Raspbian based RetroPie images are.

        Hello everyone, I received the answer that Waits. Although my work was appreciated, I was advised to change his name and use the new logo. I can only accept this advice and continue to concentrate on the little bugs that are there. At this point, given the circumstances, the two operating systems, ligth and full desktop versions, will be available for download by the end of the month. I'll change the name of the discussion and, if there are no objections, I will continue to describe future developments here. I thank everyone for their patience, support and the interest you have shown.

            I think the name is horrible and the logo is worse, how's it going to work with the distribution sources to download and update from retropie? I don't understand why you had to change the name and logo there are other distributions out there that are based on retro pie that are just different branches and they keep the same damn name I don't understand why it's such a problem

              Better name would be RetroOSx86 or RetroGames OS

                @Devil78 i actually like the name you chose. I like the the play of 2 words in 1. The word games isnt that necessary imo.

                  This is an outrage! I want my money back so I can develop my own distribution... with blackjack... and hookers. In fact, forget the distribution!

                    Thank you all for your suggestions. We'll choose together a name ... The reasons for which I chose this name are:

                    1. Retro (How Retropie)
                    2. OS (Operating System)
                    3. 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.

                        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.

                                      Sweet, I can't wait to try it out. I can make a few videos of it running when it's done . [removed references to youtube channel that now promotes piracy]

                                            Here's a great example of another distribution built on retro pie but calling itself something else
