The rationale is interesting. I'm glad they kept the logo as it's recycling ♻️

It worked wonderfully to get the point across; "This is an OS you flash after your phone is no longer supported"

Nura is nice, I do like it, but I doubt it'll have the same instant "Oh I get it" that the name "postmarketOS" had. I could be wrong though.

The people who understand the meaning of a post-market operative system will already have experience installing Linux on their computers, in which case postmarketOS is no longer really a meaningful description.

I got used to pmOS, but never really liked it. Loving Nura, though it'll take a while to get used to.
