    Your assumptions betray you. I speak 4 languages fluently/natively and two-three more poorly. English is not my native language.

    This is not about language, but about marketing. Thank you.

        Seems to me that you are the seething one, not me. Taking a walk might improve your mood.

          Ubuntu: Super marketable, everyone can pronounce it, no confusion, easily understandable by four language knowing people
          Gentoo: So easy to remember, marketing geniuses
          Godot: Inpossible to pronounce incorrectly. Children are born knowing how to say it. Exemplars of universal human communication.
          Forgejo: What were they even thinking? So bad. Who can even understand it without a dedicated audio file? People who know four languages struggle with it. A failure.

      We can name things Forge in English, but not in a different language without your criticism?
