I totally agree with you. The confusion is unfortunate. I would call the
package manager "Guix," which does the greatest justice to history [1]
and pick a new name for the operating system.

While the -ix and -ux endings have long traditions in the operating
system space, the Guix name is already trademarked by someone else for
that kind of software. [2]

Hoping for a change as you are, I tried to purchase stampede.org from
the original inventor of Stampede Linux [3] a year or so ago in order to
offer it to the project, but that went nowhere from either side.

Meanwhile, I have some other names I would be happy to purchase and
donate to the project, but I cannot disclose them to the public before
doing so.

The impetus for change is low. Please don't give up!

Kind regards
Felix
