KFS is pretty uninspired. We need something better.

Atmosphere-NX has some really cool names with nice metaphores. The different parts of the OS are named after atmosphere layers (exosphere, thermosphere, stratosphere, troposphere, mesosphere), and the bootloader is a rocket (fusee).

Another example is Fuchsia, which uses precious metals for its component names (zircon, topaz, peridot, garnet).

@Orycterope had the idea to call the OS "Sunrise", after the SynthWave sunrise imagery. Sun Rise Synthwave

Is there more common symbols in the Synthwave culture we could use to name the various components? Any other cool ideas?

SunriseOS it is. Now we just need to rename all the old KFS stuff.

Orycterope added a commit to Orycterope/SunriseOS that referenced this issue Apr 7, 2019
@Orycterope
Renaming KFS to SunriseOS
8de975e 
See sunriseos#197

The crates are now:

* sunrise-kernel
* sunrise-bootstrap
* sunrise-shell
* sunrise-libuser
* sunrise-clock
* sunrise-sm
* sunrise-vi
* sunrise-ahci
* sunrise-libutils
* sunrise-libkern

Only the README.md and the welcome message at boot use the full "SunriseOS" name.
Every other places use the shorter name "Sunrise" if possible, or "sunrise"
when lowercase is preferred.

For now all components are named after the (short) name of the project, i.e. the kernel
is "the Sunrise kernel", sm is "the Sunrise service manager", etc.
