Don’t really roll off the tongue does it?
It does for me. It’s a portmanteau of voxel and libre wit the last l of the first word and first l of the 2nd word shared. If you don’t pause at the caps and just roll straight through. It rolls just fine and is rather clever.
It was done by a poll on Discord, Matrix, and our issue tracker. I think over 120 votes were cast. It was a polling majority…
Why have a poll on a proprietary closed-source software, though? Why not exclusively in the MT forums where the most users are?
Why did they want a new name?
Might be to reduce risk of legal action by Microsoft (not that they’d have a legal leg to stand on, but that doesn’t seem to matter these days)
yeah I wanted to try out minetest but the fact that every single mod that exists for it is in the aur pissed me off cause I dont want to parse through 50 mod names to find the binaries and base data
