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:
- 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".
