    What a horrible name. I literally had to search for “aux nix” to find a Reddit post mentioning the URL. Every other search term combination was giving me results for ps aux.

      Same. Short it nice, but it has to be unique and memorable too. Aux is an already existing word.

      Things that don’t exist yet

      • Lunix - sounds like linux and nix just with i and u swapped
      • Originix - very close to https://orignix.com/ but not the same
      • Nunix - New Nix
      • Froxin - Jumble of fork + nix
      • Apenix - Apex of nix
      • Nirofs - Nix Is a Read Only FileSystem

      Suprisingly already exist

      • Nuxor - Lindt Nuxor is a chocolate
      • Aunix - auxiliary nix - https://www.aunixinternational.com/ already exists though
      • XiniX - a mirror of nix (xinix.nl exists though)
      • Lixin - shit this also exists as a brand
      • Fornix - fork + nix - is part of our brain
      • nixzen - spanish company
      • zenix - Zenith of nix - another spanish company?
      • Apaux - Apex of auxiliary nix - surprisingly is a band
      • Araknix - some toy
      • naaix - sounds like nice - is a damn boat company

      Probably some LLM could come up with something too given a good prompt.
