I like GNUix very much. In light of the above it's even more attractive.

It doesn't downgrade any other distro, yet with a very clever letter play 
brings to mind GNU as well as Guix. 

It's short, has a nice sound, utilizes the historical -ix ending, it seems to 
me to be esthetically pleasing. 

Doesn't depend on system/distribution... puzzling for a newbie. 

Finally, has "mascot" potential - we could develop a mascot, who would be 
called "GNUix", I guess a Gnu of some sort and then incorporate him into the 
logo of the distribution. 

I think this would be a very good name.
