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

Or, it's as if what you posted didn't really express what you apparently intended to say, and people responded to what you actually said instead of what you meant
My go-to example for a bad name is /e/ :-). Nice project, bad name.
