I love what's going on with Pop!_OS but I wish they'd simplify the name and rebrand it.

The exclamation point rubs me wrong.

I believe it's meant to be pronounced like "pop bang", but no one says the bang part.

Yeah it's just too much to bother saying.

It's pronounced "Pop OS", or simply "Pop".

Without zany capitalization or symbols how would people know it's an operating system?

UNIX: not an acronym, but all-caps anyway

iOS: inverted titlecase helps us stand out

Microsoft® Windows™: these are our brand names! no trespassing!

To be fair, the first two are also trademarked brand names

It really is the worst name. 76OS is much more mature
