Not a great choice of name given the existence of https://www.snowflake.com

You could write an entire OS single handedly, name it via a password generator, and one of the comments on HN would be how the name is still somewhat similar to <x> instead of talking about the project.

Coincidentally, it's also the name of a famous, early graphics demo (1960s), compare https://www.masswerk.at/snowflake (URL redirects to an emulation on the same site).

CuriousMark has a PDP11 video that has some of these demos running on the original hardware: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EWQYAfuMYw

His videos are surprisingly addictive; they've restored an Apollo guidance computer, Altos and tonnes of other ancient kit.
