#2For what it's worth, I'm not convinced by the change of name.
No matter if I write "postmarket", "PostMarket" or "posTmArkeTOs", the first result I get in my search engine is postmarketOS. In terms of how hard it is to pronounce, it feels like as soon as the context is there, one can say "pmOS". Kubernetes doesn't seem particularly easy to pronounce, but it doesn't seem like it's preventing it from being successful.
As a comparison, try to Google for /e/, or eos... I think it's getting better but a couple of years ago I was just not reading the /e/ changelogs because I just couldn't find the website. This, IMHO, is a bad name; and I have been a pretty satisfied user of /e/ for years, it's not like I don't like the project. But to be very honest, if CalyxOS had supported my phone I would have switched just because of the frustration with the name.
Also with every change of name comes confusion. For a very long time some people will keep calling it "postmarketOS", some will think it's a brand new project or a fork. Third-party documentation/blog posts will not get updated, ever. It takes time and energy to change a project name. And for what? Because it's "a bit too long" and "not so easy to pronounce"? I don't think it's worth it. It would be different if the project was called muskRocksOS.

/e/ has changed to Murena, no?

#4Any name will be better than Phosh. Most google results would return phishing attacks when searching for 'phosh linux'

No, the company selling smartphones with /e/OS is called Murena. https://murena.com/faq/

These searches contradict your statement:
https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ftsa&q=phosh&ia=web
https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=phosh
https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=phosh%20linux
they all return expected results.
also Phosh is a portmanteu of "Phone" and "Shell".

#10Does anyone know if postmarketOS has a stable (or stable-ish?) port for a modern-ish tablet that supports monitor output and has a good keyboard via pogo-pins? It would be a great device on-the-go to replace my Chromebook Duet 3 (that I really like, but wanted something more powerful).
