How set is the name Ory Talos for the new product?
Talos Linux is getting pretty common--I feel like it might end up causing some confusion

I think its pretty set, but shared your comment with the team.
Naming is hard :bee:

I'm guessing the name Ory Talos will get a lot of pushback from the broader tech community.

The 2 hardest things in tech are:
1. Naming things
2. Caches

Because of Talos Linux?

It's basically impossible to find a name that hasn't been taken in _some_ form already.
For example with Hydra there are dozens of visible and important projects with the same name :thinking_face:
but yea its hard :smile:

Talos Linux, yeah. Hard to find a name that hasn't been taken in some form sure, but one with hundreds of thousands of users can't be a great idea

I just feel like Talos Linux is too ubiquitous nowadays.

In Greek mythology, Talos was sometimes called Talon.

Then, again, "Talon" can be misinterpreted to mean something else. Naming things is such a pain.
